What effect does music have on heartrate?

In: Science
[Edit]

Effect of Music on Heartrate

Obviously, music that has a faster tempo and louder will generally make a person's heart rate and blood pressure spike, probably because it releases adrenaline, similar to a stressful situation.


Another Answer...

In your Heart, there is a sensor that receives pulses that dictate how fast the heart beats. Heavy and loud music, especially with a strong beat, can interfere with that sensor, causing the heart to beat in time to the music.

  • I am doing a science fair project on this topic. My project actually includes the effect of music on the heart rate and blood pressure of a person. I have done some research and it really depends on what kind of music it is. For example, Heavy Metal and Rap REALLY gets the heart rate and blood pressure going, while Classical music lowers it.
