According to the article “The Power of Music, Trapped in a Cubicle” written by Amisha Padnani, listening to music helps workers be more productive when they are in a loud and noisy environment, or when they are doing a repetitive task. Dr. Amit Sood stated that melodious sounds help the release of dopamine in the reward area of the brain. Music also makes us think of the present moment while doing work instead of thinking about the imperfections of life. Music blocks out all the annoying sounds that are made in the workplace which helps people concentrate more on their work and be more productive at it. In some studies, it shows that people that listen to music while doing work complete their tasks quicker and come up with better ideas than those who do not because music lightens their mood.
