Ambient music refers to any audio that is played in the background. It can be instrumental, but it is best when it has lyrics. A perfect example of ambient music would be Enya’s hit song Orinoco Flow. Even though there are vocals, this song creates a sense of calm and tranquillity through its slow piano rhythmically accompanied by drums and synthesizers.

In retail outlets, retail store managers use ambient music to achieve several objectives: to assist customers in making purchase decisions; reduce noise levels and improve customer experience; improve staff morale and create a pleasant working atmosphere; mask out irritating ambient noises such as sound from adjacent departments.

There are various tunes that retail stores play at their outlets, including uplifting, country, jazz, and classical. These tracks are specially created to brighten up the store environment and make customers more comfortable while shopping.
