Waiting for my Group

This morning I was waiting for my group in the lobby at Monty. I felt like there was no life within the building because of the lack of voices and people. Everyone that had a class in Monty was in their class at the time. One sound I kept hearing through out my wait was a ringing. The sound might have been from the elaborate lighting fixture that are near the stair cases. The ringing was low and kind of high pitched at the same time. It sounded like my ears were constantly ringing. Along with the ring, I could hear the heater rumbling. The rumbling sound of the heater lasted for roughly five minutes. It was loud and deep, which made the ringing sound of the lights less noticeable. I could also hear voices from classrooms around the lobby area. They sound more like quiet muttering, but there were some moments when one voice become audible enough for me to hear. Because of the emptiness and lack of people, the sound of the classrooms echoed throughout the lobby making it hard to tell where the voices were coming from. Sometimes I would hear some footsteps and squeaking doors coming from one of the many halls we had in the building.

The timbre of the sound is grey and simple. The soundscape of the lobby reminded me of taking a SAT in room with white cinderblock walls and white florescent lights.
