Journal Entry #2 – Ferguson
Posted on by

1. Date: 2/5/20 – Time: 10:45pm – Location: HofUSA

2. Farthest away from me, I can hear students talking and laughing with one another as they are entering HofUSA. Also, I am able to hear the shows displayed on the televisions at different volume levels in the far corners of the building.

3. In a medium range of sound, I can hear milkshakes being made and the server yelling out the menu items when some students’ orders are ready. I can hear when a student’s buzzard starts making noise, as well as them scooting their chair back in order to get up and get their food.

4. The sounds closest to me involve my friends and myself talking and laughing with each other. Also, I can sometimes hear a sipping noise when some of my friends are drinking their beverages or a munching/crunching noise when they are chewing their food. Internal sounds include me using words to ask myself when my food will be ready.

5. The general sound level is a bit noisy. There are many people at HofUSA conversing and eating, so there is a good amount of sound activity occurring. However, not as many students are here as usual due to it being a Wednesday night.

6. One word to describe the “sound environment” is “lively”.

7. Three sounds that are essential to the “sound environment” are the many conversations/laughs that are happening throughout HofUSA, the many televisions displaying different television shows at different volumes, and the server yelling to indicate when certain students’ orders were ready.
