Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

1- February 8th – 11:00 pm – Room 315 in The Hague House in the Netherland

2- Farthest – Cars driving down the street, people talking in the house common room

3- Medium – My roommates talking in the other room, the toilet flushing in the bathroom

4- Closest- my breathing, the running of my fish tank’s motor, the bubbling or the fish tank’s filter, my clock ticking

5- It is very quiet in this room and there is very little sound activity.

6- Tired

7- Clock ticking, fish filter bubbling, cars driving by

1. 3/7/12   12:30 am   My suite on campus

2. The sounds farthest away from me are people banging on the floor above me/my ceiling and talking.

3. The sounds at a medium range from me are my suitemates laughing in their bedroom and the t.v. that is on.

4. The sounds closest to me are my HVAC running heat and my clock ticking on the wall. I can also hear my breathing.

5. The general sound level is somewhat low and the activity is moderate, but there is a mix between sporadic and steady sounds.

6. I would describe this sound environment as “distracting”.

7. Three sounds essential to this sound environment are my suitemates  laughing, the people above me making banging sounds, and my clock ticking.  These are the usual sounds I hear from my room when trying to go to bed.
