Soundwalking in Starbucks
Find a place of your choosing to sit and listen thoughtfully for 10-15 minutes. Then, write a brief (250-500 words) reflection on your experience. I've included some questions below to get you started on that process of reflection, but please don't try to answer all of them in your response. It's better to choose a few points to write about in greater detail.
Did you hear any sounds that were completely new to you?
Did you hear something new in a familiar sound?
Did you hear sounds whose source you could not identify?
What was the loudest sound you heard? The softest?
Did you contribute to the soundscape you experienced?
Did you experience sound with anything other than your ears?
Please identify at the beginning of your reflection the place and time you did your listening in, with a few words describing the environment (crowded/empty, outside/inside, old/new, etc.
Soundwalking- Starbucks

I chose to order a cup of coffee at Starbucks, sit and while, inside listen to the sounds and there are few distractions in the place. Varying voices, like the cups, characterize the café/ restaurant location get filled with coffee, the coffee beans, and conversations. The sounds of baristas giving orders are familiar, and since they have to serve many people, they have to move to where the customers are. One of the most distinct sounds is that of cream foaming out, and this is most common in establishing serving coffee compared to other types of cafes and restaurants.
