I chose the sound of the dishwasher. The scene I immediately pictured was in my kitchen because my dishwasher sounds very similar to this one. A circular table is to the right of the white, work out dishwasher with myself and my three roommates sitting in chairs around the table. Because of the annoying and loud sound, all four of us are trying to talk over it. Talking about The Bachelorette while all sitting on our computers, the dishwasher proceeds to make itself heard to the right of us. My roommate Ally can’t stand the noise any longer and storms off into her bedroom. My roommate Tal is studying a powerpoint; however, she is tapping a pen and grinding her teeth. My roommate Jules decides to aid the situation by playing music other laptop. She chooses the song Paper Planes by M.I.A. Unfortunately, this song is not very heavy on the melody of the music. The lyrics are definitely the loudest aspect of the song. The song also displays a ton of special effect noises like: gun shots, cash register clicking, fingers snapping, car door slamming. I focus in on the lyrics and start trying to figure out what they mean. The line, “I fly like paper, get high like planes” sticks in my head and begs for an explanation. I rack my brain to figure out how this female singer could fly like paper. And then I realize, “Oh, like a paper plane, that’s the name of the song!” All of a sudden I realize the song captivated my attention and I forgot about the droning sounds of the dishwasher. But, that 30 second distraction is now gone, and I am back listening to the splish-splashing loud noise coming from my right. I immediately pick up my computer and pace into my bedroom away from the dishwasher noise.
