In-store sound systems aim to create a musical atmosphere within a store to optimize its commercial effectiveness. This practice includes playing background music, but can also encompass the broadcasting of announcements and marketing information. To personalize the sound environment, playlists specially designed by specialized agencies can be played across a network of stores. It is sometimes possible to adapt the sound system to different areas within a store.

The main objective of in-store sound systems is to stimulate purchasing behavior, improve the customer experience, and strengthen brand image. This practice can also have positive impacts on employee well-being. Several studies have been conducted to evaluate the beneficial effects of sound systems in retail outlets that were not initially equipped with them. Although these studies were funded by stakeholders in the sound system industry, such as specialized agencies and Sacem, the results obtained are relevant to the values ​​promoted and the areas of impact identified.
