Sound Walk Assignment

I chose to walk around my neighborhood of Corona, Queens. As I was headed towards Flushing Meadow Park, I had to walk parallel to the highway and was immediately met with the sound of cars zooming past me in the opposite direction, one after the other. By the time I got to 108th and Horace Harding, I heard a lot of horn honking, and the voices of teenagers heading onto the Q88 bus. When I reached the park, the cars were no longer heard as the booming voices of children, their parents, handballs, baseballs and the wheels of bikes surrounded my ears. Surprisingly, there were a lot of people there despite the fall weather. Even though there were a lot of pigeons eating bread at one location, a zoo nearby and dogs being walked, it seemed as though every animal was silent. I then crossed a bridge that led to a much larger part of the park and it seemed empty. I heard the wind and just that for quite some time. I took a seat to relax and would hear some foot steps here and quicker footsteps there as some people decided to go for a jog. There weren't many interesting sounds until I got near the soccer fields; I could hear people yelling for the ball, the sound of it being kicked and scraping through the turf as it rolled to someone's feet. Once I passed that, my hour had ended and I reached a dirty pond where I heard geese on the side honking at each other (or whatever sound they make, because it certainly isn't a quack.) As I turned around and headed back home, I was met with the same sounds, only in reverse.
