I have started feeding my cat classical music when I’m away from home. He seems calmer, friendlier, and more sociable. He gets very comfortable with me. There must be something going on in the neurochemistry of his brain that is affected by the rhythmic sound waves hitting his ears. If music has such an effect on cats, I wonder its implications with humans. How much of an effect does music have on your mood? Why does classical music, or any other relaxing sound, seem to have a soothing effect on your mood? What is the connection between your daily soundscape and psychological well-being? Why does ASMR have such a soothing effect on your neurological pathways?
