Location: Axinn Library, approximately 12.00 PM.

Noises closest to me: The printer from a student printing out their work. I hear this very audibly as I was sitting right near it.

Background noises: I hear a people talking, very faintly. I also hear footsteps from people walking as well. I also hear people typing on keyboards as they do their work. Occasionally I do hear a yawn or a sniffle from somebody, or a water bottle opening. I also heard a firetruck go by.

1. Bits and Bytes, 6:30pm (2/5/26)

2. A refrigerator door closing, chatter from a table on the other side of the room, sounds of cooking utensils and ovens from the kitchen areas.

3. The hum of the drink refrigerators, the soda machine being used, ice being dispensed, someone pulling plastic utensils from the dispenser.

4. My friend collecting her garbage from dinner, a three person conversation to my right, the fan overhead and behind me, the table rocking back and forth and hitting the ground because of its uneven legs.

5. Moderately noisy. Much quieter than Bits usually is during the day. Everything starts to blend together as soon as I stop paying attention and becomes white noise.

6. Bustle.

7. The sound of human voices, a fan humming, kitchen utensils banging together.
