In the study The Efficacy of a Brief Nature Sound Intervention on Muscle Tension, Pulse Rate, and SelfReported Stress they measured pulse rate, muscle tension, and selfreported stress of 40 people and then had participants listen for 15 minutes to one of three sounds: silence, Mozart, and ocean waves. Afterward, the researchers again collected physiological data and asked participants about their stress levels. They saw no significant change for people who listened to silence or classical music, but the subjects who listened to ocean waves had considerably lower muscle tension, heart rates, and selfreported stressbasically, a less strained mental and physical state. The team also saw positive changes occur relatively quickly, within five to seven minutes of listening to nature. The researchers didnt specifically study workspaces
