Medical Music

FAQ – Medical Music

What volume is comfortable in a hospital or doctors’ office?
Music should sit a few dB under conversation. Avoid bright cymbals and heavy bass that build up in reflective corridors, and leave short pockets of space around announcements so messages are easy to hear.

Which tempos suit waiting rooms, treatment areas, and admin offices?
Waiting rooms feel calm at 70–90 BPM. Consultation and treatment spaces work with mid-slow pulses that do not distract. Office areas benefit from unobtrusive mid-tempo beds that reduce fatigue across long days.

Instrumental bed or a short song for health videos?
A short hook helps an opener or title card, while instrumental beds keep narration, captions, and medical terms clear during the main content.

Can I use these tracks for IVR, on-hold, or reminder messages?
Yes. Choose the ringtone-length stings or shorter edits. Mid-range focused tones and gentle endings loop cleanly without clicks on phone systems.

How do I keep voiceovers intelligible over background music?
Keep the bed 6–9 dB below speech, use cues with soft highs, and dip levels slightly during names, instructions, or prices. Timing lower-thirds just before a downbeat helps text land cleanly.

What is a simple plan for a clinic playlist that runs all day?
Build a small palette of three to five related cues in similar keys and tempos. Rotate them hourly, crossfade on bar lines, and return to original endings near closing announcements for a tidy finish.
