• Also called muzak, muzac, acoustic wallpaper, elevator music or canned music, piped music is made possible by systems which allow a constant supply throughout a building or other public place.
• It is the misuse of this in public areas (and only this) which Pipedown has been formed to fight, encouraging and giving a voice to millions of people who hate piped music but at present often feel totally powerless to do anything about it.

Amid the many claims and counter-claims made about piped music (also called muzak, canned music or elevator music), objectively researched facts about piped music’s effects and its real popularity can be very hard to find. Here are some examples:

• More people hate piped music than like it (more...)
  
• Musicians of all sorts hate piped music (more...)
• There are important health aspects to piped music (more...)

Pipedown campaigns tirelessly against piped music.
