Great Question:

First Yekkes Shluchei Tzibbur say this silently.
It is said before every TEfillah on YK by the Shatz, preceding:

   1. Kol Nidre @ Arvis
   2. Baruch She'amar @ shacharis
   3. Before kaddish @
      1. Mussaf
      2. Mihncha
      3. Ne'ilah

On Rosh haShana it is said - AFAIK - only for Shacharis and Mussaf as above.

I am fuzzy on this , but I seem recall that it was some 19th century East
Europen Hazzan who made this a public prayer with a fancy/inspiring Nusach.

OTOH, there are MANY bakashos said by the Shatz, e.g. Ochila lo'Keil that
ARE siad outloud even by Germans.  Lich'or they should all be said silently
as private petitons of hte ShaTz to better fulfill his task

On a different thread when did the Acronym ShaTZ become a separate word?
