Listening for thirty minutes of sounds was a complete new experience for me. Closing my eyes gave me a new interpretation of the beauty of sounds. Instead of hearing everything as many noises piled together, every sound became distinct. When only focusing on sounds, they sound a lot different than when your preoccupied with other things on your mind. Closer sounds would break the simplistic ambient sound in the background. I enjoyed hearing the traffic begin close to myself and fade into the air within seconds. Professor Beffel proposed an exercise where she rang a bell which magically changed our thought of sound. It was shockingly impressive to understand that an interruption can completely trigger your train of thought. I also learned that there is no such thing as silence. Whether there are noises or not in the room your in, your mind is consistently producing thoughts, which generates sound.
