Throughout this assignment I've tried to find the most unique ambient sounds as i could, when i decided to go to the computer lab in the library. I figured the sound of a large group of people, like the fisher center, or wag, or the mall would be redundant.. so i tried different things.. the computer lab was notable, i'm a firm believe you can find a rhythm in almost anything.. and the lab proved that all the same. while the most obvious sound is the constant taptaptaptap on the keys of the keyboards like little tiny robots doing manual labor, which i expected.. the other noises fell in nicely.. my favorite being the hum of the printer along side of the sound of the machinary inside dancing to produce patterns of ink on paper.. which lead to the shifting of papers being picked up from the tray. Also, its one thing to hear a group of people talking, but a mass amount of whispering.. if you can imagine is like a lull of falling water...whispering telephone conversations, the whispering of freshman and giggling to their facebook finds.. the mice clicking that are a higher pitch that add a nice layer of noise. to finally the buzz of the AC above...that seems to fill the room with not only cold air, but a musical piece to the rhythmic puzzle of the computer lab.
