NP | ZK translation: into the pitch of street noise

[Becky Lindroos]

The pitch in music is the highness or lowness of a tone -   it’s created by the rate of vibrations producing it.  

Nice choice of words again because there are lots of kinds of vibrations in the street many of which make noise.   DeLillo is a brilliant wordsmith.
