5- Describe the general sound level and amount of sound activity.

– The sound level is very intense – there is a lot of sound so altogether everything sounds muffled – except when you walk past a store sometimes you can hear the specific music – for example the music in Express which is played way too loud – once we entered the store we had to pretty much scream to communicate. Sound gets drowned out in the mall because the ceilings are really high so everything just goes into an abyss.
