The globe emanates a low-frequency sound that can be heard from the surrounding streets and the High Line Park -- provided there's not too much competing noise from the cars and trucks in the streets. (To hear the sound in this video, adequate speakers or headphones are required). The globe David Byrne created is based on the type used in primary schools. The inflated "world" is wedged within the confines of the space, thus becoming deliberately distorted. Speakers placed deep within the globe produce the sound that is coming out of the globe.
