  2. Only Dobra Tea and Crazy mocha were under optimum levels suggested for studying/individual working environment. (http://www.human.cornell.edu/dea/outreach/upload/FPM-Notes_Vol1_Number11.pdf)
  3. However, things changed when it came to creativity with a lot of places having a near optimum sound level to promote creativity. (http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/665048, http://advertisementfeature.cnn.com/think-brilliant/how-much-noise-is-optimal-for-creativity.html) NO WONDER CMU students are creative!!
  4. Places such as Hunt Library, Sorrels, Danforth Lounge and Crazy Mocha show the least amount of variations on both weekdays and weekends.
