Objective  To explore the influence of two different styles music on taste threshold. Methods  A single blind, before-after study was carried out during 16:30—18:00 time-period to find out the threshold ranges of acidity, sugariness, bitterness, saltiness and discrepancy with 60 healthy volunteers. In order to avoid different music’s mutual interference, every volunteer was asked to participate in a two-day test: The first day, measure four kinds of taste thresholds, then listen to soothing music “bandari” 10 min, measure again. The second day the program repeated, music changed for intense music“linkin park”. Then compare the taste threshold changes before and after two kinds of music respectively. Results  The threshold range of bitterness diminished after soothing music, there was statistical difference(P<0.05). Conclusion  Music therapy had certain effect on taste threshold, the soothing music stimulation could reduce the threshold range of bitterness.
