Deep man, Deep.

For ten minutes I sat in my room and listened to the sounds around me. In my room was myself, Stefanie, and the dog. So there were plenty of noises to be heard. It was interesting in the fact that these were noises I hear often, but never really paid attention to any meaning or mood they emit.

Some noises and what they mean:
Clickity Clacks - Stefanie was playing games on her computer. So the clicks and clacks of her keyboard and mouse were prevalent every 20 or so seconds and lasted about 5 seconds whenever she would be chatting with someone or fighting a monster or whatever she was doing. After hearing a few "verses" of the keyboard chatter I was able to recognize a few different keystrokes just by sound. The space bar had a lower pitch than other keys. The backspace seemed to be higher pitch, probably because you hit the backspace key harder than others. The whole thing almost had a rhythm. I was almost looking forward to the next 5 second piece that would be conducted by the keys to break up the silence.

Ambient whiring - Our laptop fans created a nice somber mood throughout the room. A low constant whir filled the air and if that was the only noise, it would have put me to sleep. It was a nice reminder of the times we live in as well. Stefanie was chatting with people all across the world, without actually saying anything.

Dog - Our dog, Ruger, doesn't like to sit still for long. Every 5 minutes or so he would wake up from his nap and get up. The floor creaks a little as his weight shifts around, followed by the large thump of 80 lbs of German Shephard plopping on the ground. Sometimes he would have an itch and would begin to chew at his fur making popping noises with his teeth and slurpy noises with his nose trying to catch his breath. My favorite noise he makes is a sigh. Usually after gnawing at his fur for a bit he will take a deep breath and let out a very human-like sigh. Almost on cue, myself and Stefanie let out our own sighs to mock him. This was followed by laughter from us and a confused look from him.
