Sound Walk Experience
I really enjoyed the sound walk we went on, it's nice to get a different perspective, rather than zoning everything out like I usually do walking through life. I'm so caught up in my music or thoughts, I miss out on certain things. Not so much the construction noise (although, the different facets of it were sorta interesting) but other things, people observing us/conversing, the water noise in the midst of chaotic street noise, the way different cars sound hitting bumps in the road, noticing how sound cues action around it. All the sounds make mini stories, each one interesting in it's own way, and I think that's pretty enjoyable to listen to.

list of things I heard: in the hall: interview mix up conversation, doors closing, footsteps, sighing, elevator ping. Stairwell: doors opening, shutting, reverb, pipe noise, echoing footsteps, quiet conversation, faint construction noise. Garage/street: car door locking, footsteps, cars passing, bus roar, contstruction beeps, sirens, cars bumping the road, conversation, walk signal, brakes, truck acceleration, water hose on dirt, chain link fence rattle, gravel moving on ground under feet. Cafe: clinking of silverware, muted conversation, music, air conditioning, doors opening/closing.
