Millions of visitors to Times Square pass it every day. Some stop to listen, while others wonder about a mysterious low-pitched sound coming from somewhere below the subway grating. Artist Max Neuhaus called it a 'situational work' -- a constant, intense organ-like sound circulating underneath and around a pedestrian ...island in the very heart of Times Square.
