So you're not actually listening to it. By saying you are you just mean "I have no music playing", which is not the same thing.
Yes, one aim of the piece is to accentuate the background noise that would accompany any performance. In any case you can buy or download performances of the piece, and I don't see why listening to a recorded version of this piece is in principle different to listening to a recorded version of any other piece. This is clearly not the same as not having any music playing.
I read on wikipedia that a techno remix has been done. That would be worth listening to.
