2.3 I am an Ear

Sounds:
  • sound of flushing toilet bowl water
  • air con
  • the train
  • crowd noise
  • footsteps on even, tiled floors
  • typing sounds (fingers on keyboard)
  • the elevator's bell ring
  • the doorbell
  • music from my iPod
  • that nice "tapping" sound the library's book scanner makes (not a beep)
  • chairs being pushed around (chairs scratching the floor and bumping on tables)
  • the sound of palm hitting arm
  • the sound of breathing
Main Sound: The Sound of Typing (on a keyboard)

The mechanical pitter-patter of tapping on a board of buttons makes a drizzling sound. The rhythmic drizzling sound pattern, not made by a drizzle or anything wet that rushes down, makes a clatter in a quiet library. As fingertips hit tiny solid squares of an object, the action creates the shaking sound of marbles in a jar.
