This is a recording of some Virginia Commonwealth University students coming into a large Biology 151 class two classes after a test had been taken. I am already seated in class. You can hear a girl talk to her friend about how she missed questions on the test. You may also hear the sound of a desk squeaking as a student pulls it out from the side, and over their laps getting prepared for class to begin. Recorded on a Zoom H1 handy recorder.

This is a sound recording of a window screen during a rainstorm on the second floor of a dorm building facing an alley. Recorded on an iPhone 6.

Sound recorded in the residential housing (Rhoads) for students at Virginia Commonwealth University. I was in my room and used a belt in order to produce a loud crack/snapping noise. This was done by folding the belt in half and grabbing the two ends, afterwards you push the two ends close together till it forms an oval and quickly snap it back to its folded position. Recorded using a Zoom H1 audio recording device in stereo recording mode.
