Farthest away: Cars in the parking lot, a motorcycle on the turnpike, a flagpole rope whipping against a flagpole

Medium distance:  my roommate eating chips as loud as humanly possible, my radiator making an alarming kind of ticking noise, people talking in the common room below me, wind howling outside my window

Closest: my fingers typing on my computer, my sighs of frustration at my roommate eating chips as loud as humanly possible, my phone vibrating

The sound level has been the same for a while. No one’s really talking and i’m just trying to focus on the ambient noises from outside, instead of my roommate eating chips

one word: frustration

three sounds: crunching, typing, cars driving
