I was thinking about this earlier, because i'm listening to music at the moment and I noticed a bit of a change in the songs i'm listening to. It has made me curious. Does someone's mood influence the perception of sound?
I know it sounds unrealistic, but i've noticed a change in my own perception of sound on a number of occasions. Whenever I listen to a song through my headphones when i'm feeling fatigued or depressed, the song I am listening to sounds slower-paced and lower-pitched, even though the duration of the track itself hasn't changed. Yet, when i'm in a much more positive mood, the duration of the song seems shorter and the song itself sounds "higher pitched". Has anyone else experienced this as well?
