Question about timing for catching sounds?
Posted: 18 May 2023 18:31
Recently I was in a high rise hotel bar on the ground floor atrium where you could see the elevators from the rear which had glass as well as you could see all the floors/windows going all the way up and being late at night, I saw a couple get onto the elevator alone and IMMEDIATELY she put her hands around his neck and they started kissing. I was like WHOA someone is about to get lucky so I checked the time and saw what floor the elevator went to and figured I would give them about 15-17 minutes to get to their room and get busy to the point that I could hear something from the hallway.
When I went up at the 17 minute point, I never heard anything although I did hear a shower running in one room so maybe I was too late and missed it. I did a few rounds between two floors to make sure I didn’t pick the wrong floor and either they didn’t do anything (doubtful), they were quiet (possible) or I missed it (probable). I know occasionally you might have a rip the clothes off quickie but usually I figured 17 minutes was plenty of time because I assumed they would get to their room, both use the bathroom, then dress down and by the time I got there they would be maybe 5 minutes into it
So my question is when you see someone headed into a room like that from a bar or even their door, what’s a good timeframe to try to start hearing some sounds?
