Memorandum
The graduation ceremonies were held on this day. Because of the COVID-19 issues, the ceremony was cancelled the year before last, and was held on-line last year.
As a countermeasure of the infection of the COVID-19, the ceremonies were held twice: the first ceremony was for the students of two faculties and the other was for those of the other two faculties. This soundscape was recorded at the interval of the two ceremonies: Students who attended the first ceremony were going to school buildings and those who would attend the second ceremony were going to the gymnasium where the ceremony was held.
In usual years before the COVID-19 issues, current students with noisemakers (drums, guitars, ... etc) came to celebrate graduates. But this year, the university authorities required current students not to come as another countermeasure of the infection, and therefore, the square was not so lively (or noisy) like usual years.
Happy graduation!!
The monitoring post at the square showed 0.092 μSv/h.
