How does music sound at zero gravity?

If you are talking about the sort of zero gravity which one experiences in a space craft or in orbit (which is more correctly called weightlessness), then music would sound no different (provided there were a breathable atmosphere) because sound waves are not affected (significantly) by gravitation. It is difficult to say what music would sound like if the forces of gravity did not exist at all because that would probably mean that matter would not exist in any form whatosever ... hence no instruments, no musicians, no air to transmit sound and no ear to hear it!

Hmmmm. Tough one. I don't know. I think there'd be no difference as to how it would sound at non-zero gravity. Well, music is made up of sound waves, right? And sound waves are pressure waves. I may be wrong but I think that, on how we hear sound, depends if there's a medium that it can travel to, and not on gravity. An example of a medium is air (which has particles in it). The pressure waves (sound waves) travel through air, thus we can hear sound (and thus, music). Another example of a medium is an object, any object -- wall, clothing, the ground. Cave men can hear the footsteps of running animals by putting their ears to the ground. The sound waves (pressure waves) travel through the ground, putting pressure to it thus the cave men can hear the footsteps. Another example is that in space, where there is no air, thus we term as "vacuum", we shouldn't be able to hear sound, or in this case, music, because the sound waves have no medium to travel to. That's kind of the irony in movies where there are spaceships explode that in space. There shouldn't be any sound. But of course they put sound to it for the sake of the movie. So I think that music wouldn't sound any different at zero gravity. I don't know. I may be wrong. hehehe!

So long as there's not zero AIR, why would there be any difference? Maggiepie "(T)he discretion of the judge is the first engine of tyranny." ~ Edward Gibbon, historian, from "History of the Roman Empire"

Is zero gravity the same as a vacuum? If music is played in a vacuum, then maybe you won't hear anything. But zero gravity in a rapidly descending airplane might still have the possibility of hearing music. This is such an interesting topic!

as sound waves propagate spherically in air and air doen't fall to the ground due to gravity (it behaves like a cussion as the air molecules press themselves away from each other into all directions at high speed (when temperature is room temperature and pressure is normal pressure)) the sound waves hit the ear in the same way as they do inside a pressurized and heated cabin of a space vehicle. But in general zero gravity may affect perception of all the senses from within. So hearing music in space may still be different even though there's no physical difference.

i think it would sound the same as long as there was an air as a medium for the music to travel... you can watch that in zero gravity spaceships when all the astronot were in the ship they can communicate with others without any mic.. but when there was no air as a medium then the sound cannot travel from the source so no one could hear them... it's not the gravity that matter, it's the medium that can make the music travel...

I think it would sound the same. In space, there is no air so you can't hear sound. Inside a spaceship, I think sound sounds normal

depends on whether there's air or annother object that sound can pass through. If you mean space as in zero gravity, that no, as no object is touching your ear that can pass vibrations on. But in conditions with air/water/other similar things, you will be able to hear as if you were there on earth. No difference essentially unless there is no particles nearby to carry on the vibration
