This is a sound effect story, created by yours truly. These are the various sounds I hear throughout my house because our house is old, and the walls are paper thin. Good thing I’m a heavy sleeper. I used sound effects from freesound, and audacity to layer them all together. It was a fairly simple process once I figured out all the tools. I really like the way it turned out. It has a selective hearing feel to it as it shifts from the noises that I can hear inside to the noises I prefer to hear outside (the crickets, and the cars passing by). I used five different sounds: floor creaking, people chattering, dishes being done, cars passing by, and a symphony of crickets. The floor creaking is my roommate that lives above me, she walks on her heels, which means the floor is always creaking. The people chattering/the dishes being washed is the sound of my other roommate and her boyfriend making a midnight snack in the kitchen. They do this all the time. And the crickets and the car passing are the sounds I can hear coming from the outside. (Yes, I can hear ALL of the things.)
