We eventually found it, but if you're not on the same side of the street as the Federal Reserve, you're on the wrong side. Such a treat. I was laughing with glee!

I was walking down Curtis Street a couple of weeks ago, heard pigs snorting near the Federal Reserve Building, and was totally confused. Now that I know about Soundwalk, I know that I wasn't losing my mind. And I wanted to tell you that it is still working.

I think I first heard the crazy sounds under the street about 20-22 years ago. Definitely a fun spot that catches people off guard. From lions roaring to trains, it's a fun touch to the city.

They work. But the sounds are timed. Ocean waves. Engines. Cows-pigs! Subway cars! be patient and listen. Very cool. On Curtis between 15-16, opposite Sam 3.

Glad to hear it! This is one of those attractions where visitors risk arriving when it is awaiting repair/restart, or it may have "quiet" hours. And someday the surface populace will grow weary of subterranean chickens.
