The Effects of Muzak

Human beings respond physically to sound. So well known is that fact that we have various forms of sonar and music therapy for physical as well as psychological problems.

So how much research has there been on the perennial bombardment of the human body with sound waves whenever one travels or goes shopping?

One is constantly surrounded by what is known as Muzak - usually some kind of pop or rock music.

Human beings were not designed to be bombarded with music all the time. Quite apart from the fact that some of us may like all kinds of music, but most of us have our preferences - and a few of us may even actively dislike some kinds of music.

Here is my thesis: As Muzak can't be escaped in modern life, it contributes to mental tiredness and to stress on the heart and other organs. Muzak may even contribute to cancer, as the breakdown of the natural self-regulatory system which eliminates abnormal cells is at least part of what causes people to suffer from the disease.
