The effect of music on the behavior of captive chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)

Results suggest music has a significant effect on behavior of captive chimpanzees. It resulted in decreased aggression and active exploratory behavior and increased inactive resting and social behavior (principally social grooming). These effects were predominant for adult males during morning...
