Researchers seem to have stepped up their studies on the effects of music in our daily lives lately. In a study published about two weeks ago, it was revealed that listening to music is a great exercise for the brain. The other day, new information was shared about the effects of listening to music while sleeping on our brain. Researchers have now prepared a study that examines our music listening habits during certain parts of the day and what they are based on.
Within the scope of this research, more than 2 billion Spotify data were analyzed and an analysis of the music we listened to in a 24-hour period was made. According to the results obtained, our daily music listening habits are divided into 5 different time periods. The music we listen to in these slices, which are divided into morning, noon, evening, night and early morning hours, differ according to the current biological rhythm of our body.
The same results were obtained from many of the volunteers:
From the data they obtained by examining the loudness, tempo and rhythm of the music listened to by the listeners during the day, the researchers determined that the music listened in the morning hours was slower and quieter, and the volume and tempo increased as the noon hours approached. During other parts of the day, the sound level remains the same, while at night it decreases again. On the other hand, an increase was observed in the tempo and rhythm of the songs in the evening hours.
In the continuation of the study, another test was conducted with 89 volunteers. The volunteers were free to listen to the songs they wanted during the day, and it was discovered from the result that almost all the volunteers listened to the music at the same volume and tempo at the same time. This research, which also reveals how our activities in digital environments can be followed, reveals the common aspects of even a subjective concept such as ‘musical taste’ in society.
