From the environment surrounding us, there are different sounds, noises as physical waves, which are arriving to the living organism. These dissonant and consonant inputs have a negative or a positive effect on the quality of life, respectively. The noise, as a dissonant sound has always a negative effect, while music, in the majority of cases, a positive effect. Both the professional and the non-professional noise as a pollution by its stress-provoking effect seriously damages the health. Therefore there is an important endeavour fighting against noise pollution to improve the quality of life. Well-selected music, by means of neurochemical transmissions, strengthens the immune system of the brain in all periods, from the intrauterine period to the end of life--it has a positive effect on the quality of life.
