Tayyari, Fariborz and Smith, James L. (1987): Effect of Music on Performance in Human-Computer Interface. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 1321-1325.

The effect of music at two levels (60-65 dB and 80-85 dB), vs. no music (silent), on the performance of 40 subjects engaged in a data processing task was studied. It was found that, while the music did not disturb the overall accuracy of the task output, it increased the subjects' speed in data processing and overall productivity. The subjects showed a favorable attitude toward music being introduced at workstations.
