Journal Entry #3

3/9/2024, 2:02 PM ET, Broadfield

The sound furthest away from me is very quiet rumbling and banging of the dryer downstairs.

A sound a bit closer to me is high-pitched humming sound of the fridge on the right behind the wall.

The sound closest to me is Sophie watching TikToks on the couch to the left of me.

The sound level is very quiet, to the point where you could probably hear a pin drop.

The word I would use to describe the sound environment is hushed.

Three sounds essential to the sound environment are the sound of a phone buzzing, Sophie’s soft tapping on her phone, and the humming.

Journal Entry #2

2/23/24 – 11:33 pm – my friends dorm
Farthest Sound – the farthest sound from me is the cars racing down Oak Street, honking at other cars that are going “too slow”
Medium Sound – the sound that is in medium distance from my friend’s air purifier, a white noise background noise if you will
Closest Sound – the closest sound from me is my besties ranting about the newest tea in around campus and a song playing on my friend’s tiktok
The sound level – the sound level continues to vary like the shape of a wave due to the people around me getting really into what they are explaining
One word – drama
Essential sounds – talking, white noise, honking, cars driving quite fast
