The ubiquitous presence of music in closed public environments is a defining characteristics of our contemporary society. Usually the sonorization of places with music is thought of as a way of positively changing the general climate of the environment, giving the place a desired symbolic and emotional ambience. However, individuals who frequent such spaces are often negatively mobilized by ambient music, triggering dissatisfaction and discomfort. Based on dozens of interviews about musical discomforts, the article discusses the affective dimensions and effects of ambient music in various social spaces, highlighting that ambient music often produces unpleasant sensations and even keep some individuals away from such places.
