Look quickly because there’s a bot in a hole that will cover the hole up fast with a panel of some sort. When you’ve spotted it the bot will pick up the companion cube and turn your volume up. When you hear the music it will reappear later after you’ve gone all the way into the end of the game when GlaDOS lets you go with a show. At that point a multitude will show up singing the song to the music you uncovered.
