1)   3/14/11- 11:15 pm- Student Center

2)   There is a hum from some machine like refrigerator or something, I can kind of hear the HVAC system but just barely if at all, there is distant chatter.

3)   There is medium range chatter, seats moving, pots and pans being moved and clanked together, there is Spanish music playing in the background, many different kitchen noises, a lady calling out numbers, the beep of someone trying to get a soda and the machine not working and keys jingling.

4)   Seats moving, footsteps both high heels and regular sneakers, close chatter, there is a even louder humming behind me from some machine, the noise from a vibration as someone got a text at the end of the table, rustling of food containers, the sound of eating food, the sound of drinking from a straw, and rustling of clothing.

5)   The general sound level is pretty high and loud.  The sound activity is also a lot and very active.

6)   Social

7)   Sounds of the Kitchen, Chatter, low background music or ambient noise (humming)
