Thats acoustic torture,says Nigel Rodgers of Pipedown,a group against muzak.Its not loud but the repetitive nature causes psychological stress.
The group wants the government to legislate against unwanted music in stores,hospitals,airports,swimming pools and other public places,claiming it raises the blood pressure and depresses the immune system.
Perhaps groups like Pipedown dont really have much to complain about.After all,surely the real point is that people have money to spend.Why complain about a bit of music?
