Elevator Music

description: Can anyone remember the last time they heard elevator music in an elevator? I know I did once or twice, but that's when I was a kid. I don't hear it anymore in the medical facilities I go to.

description: I visited someone in a hospital recently and you're right, I didn't hear any. Weird. Years and years ago I was in a financial highrise and they had music. Why not hospitals?

description: I don't think it's still a thing now because it won't be practical anymore given that elevators are fast now. Maybe there will be elevator music but only in high-end establishments like hotels and the like.

description: Elevator music would be great for buildings with high floors since I've experienced how awkward it could be to stand and watch the floor number change. Getting my phone doesn't come to mind because I wouldn't want to miss my floor.

description: Once in a while, I stumble into elevator music when running errands in town. I find it quite soothing, and it makes the space less spooky.

description: Don't think I've heard actual elevator music. Agree that its disappearance might have something to do with modern elevators' faster speeds. I could see TikTok-like song clips playing between floors.

description: A lot has changed over time, and playing music in an elevator is becoming a thing of the past. There are few places that one can visit even hotels and you get to hear the music being played in the elevator.

I don't understand the reason they are phasing out the era of playing songs on the elevator. I always enjoy listening to those songs the very few times that I've had the need to make use of an elevator in different areas.

There are few places that one can visit even hotels and you get to hear the music being played in the elevator. I would say that those who started with that idea to phase out those elevator music did the right thing. I was never comfortable listening to music when I am in the elevator. It didn't sit well with me at all.
