April 10, 2024. 3:11 pm. Basement of Berliner Hall in Astronomy class
Professor speaking to his class in a room down the hall
The sounds of my classmates typing, the fan in the back of the room
My professor lecturing right in front of me (I’m in the front row), my own sniffles because I have a cold. My classmates speaking.
General sound level: low to medium. There is a low amount of activity because there is never more than one person speaking at once.
One word: academic
Essential sounds: Dr. Lacy’s voice, classmates speaking, typing noises.

Spiegel Theater, Friday February 23. 11:56 am
Furthest away from me- distant fan in the Spiegel, Caitlyn and Katie’s scripts crinkling/ pages turning, Caitlyn and Katie sharing their lines, Omar speaking
Medium Range- pens from my classmates clicking, occasional coughing, Jess’s keyboard tapping
Closest to me- my own breath, my chair creaking
Sound level- l0w. There aren’t lots of overlapping sounds
One word description- Academic
Essential sounds- Spiegel fan, Omar’s voice, pages turning

February 7, 2024. 11:30 am. Bits and Bytes.
The sounds that are furthest away from me: the sound of cooking in the kitchen, fridges opening and closing, the workers behind the food counters talking to each other
The sounds that are a medium distance from me: the hum of the fridges, the women who work at the check out area talking to each other and other students, the chatter of the students eating lunch in this space
The sounds that are closest to me: my friend tapping on his computer, the video he is watching, the tapping of my own keyboard.
The sound level of the space is medium-to-low, with an occasional louder noise. The sound activity is high, as there are many people in this space doing their own individual things.
One word description: casual
Three sounds that are integral to the environment: the fridges humming, the employees speaking Spanish casually to each other, and the happy chatter from other students.
