A Sound Garden is a public art work on NOAA property adjacent to Magnuson Park in Seattle, Washington. It was created in 1982 by Doug Hollis. It is constructed with a number of metal tubes on weathervane-like apparatus that catch the wind and moan eerily.[1][2]
The Seattle grunge band Soundgarden took their name from this art work.[3][4]
The art installation is closed to the general public.[5]
