listening station
Intelligence monitoring facility
A listening station is a facility equipped to intercept and monitor communications, typically for intelligence or military purposes.
During the Cold War, listening stations tracked enemy radio transmissions and signals: The hilltop listening station monitored Soviet broadcasts.
The term also applies to any designated spot for audio surveillance or, more innocuously, a place set up for sampling music in a store.
