Abstract
If a sound is perceptible with a time interval below a certain level it is known as a continuous sound (Berglund et al.,1999) . This type of sound is discriminated by the ear, since our auditory system analyzes that sound as a non-dangerous stimulus. Another agent that is maintained unnoticed is the stress and the anxiety that goes coupling to the person little by little until it begins to generate quite serious problems. Studies of tests to apply music as therapy to solve the problems derived from these agents have demonstrated that an improvement exists and that they are problems with a nonaggressive, cheap and simple solution as it is to listen to music. Although it is a developing field, this work still shows the studies that the author has believed to be most relevant when it comes to justifying the use of this therapy.
