product-fullturn Musician reveals bold plan to make turnstiles at the NYC subway friendlier, audio-wise The sound generated by NYC turnstiles is among the most annoying ones people riding the subway have to endure, but a musician is keen on changing all of that.

When riders swipe their yellow cards through the machine, the turnstile emits a flat, crabby beep. However, former LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy as a plan to change that.

The Subway Symphony would replace that irksome sound with something more like wind chimes than the drone of a droid.

These noises must be easily distinguished so visually impaired riders have a sense of what’s going on. To cover all the necessary cues, Subway Symphony will need to present a chord progression of seven or eight tones.
