Kelly's Sound Walk

I started this walk after our lab last Thursday. The corner of Dean Keeton and Guadalupe was busy, as usual, and a lot of people were talking from all directions. The sounds of bugs, cars, buses, and people talking surrounded me. Then, slicing through all the noise, I heard the metronome-like beeps of the signal to cross the street. As soon as I swung the door to Hole in the Wall open, loud music flooded my ears. It was too loud and not exactly matching my interests, so I quickly walked through the front room. Outside, the jukebox was playing somewhat softly, and the voices and laughter of groups of people mixed with the music at almost the same level. Upon opting to leave via the front door instead of the emergency door, I passed a buzzing lamp post and more car sounds. The alley behind 7-11 was eerily quiet. I could still hear street and people sounds, but the buildings blocked a lot of the sounds. Thai Noodle House offers some good sounds, such as utensils and glassware. It is interesting to notice the dynamic between the flow of a conversation and the food being served.
