In my place and almost all over my country, the malls and big stores have loud music. People are used to it and those who dislike it are foreigners. I was told by one foreigner that the malls in the city where I live are noisy like hell. I told home if he had gone to hell. When I toured other countries like New Zealand, I realized that there was no sound, very silent shop. The mall there is called a shop and I was not used to it. It's my culture to hear loud music in the malls in our city. I told my cousin that Auckland, New Zealand is like a lonely planet. But again, it is their culture we have to respect. What about in your country, are there sound in your malls?
Is it advisable to tune in loud music in the business center?

Personally I think it's not advisable. We are all different persons with different taste. To some they might be okay with the loud music but there are does who may not like this. So it's better to keep the music on a moderate level.
In terms of malls, over here it is Abit common. Though most of them do not make it extremely loud but they still play music to make the place feel Abit lively.The music is heard in the entire mall. It's noisy actually, but we're used to it. People enjoy too and saw some kids and teens danced in a remote corner.
Personally, I like listening to music. I feel good when the malls are playing loud sounds. It entertains me and at the same time I feel that I can just go on with my day. Too quiet place is for someone who needs peace and calm place and there is a place for that.

That is how malls here are doing, tuning in too loud music but we are used to it, and if it is very silent, people are worried. they think something bad happens. @eldavis, it makes a mall lively when there is music but not too loud but some malls have very loud music as if there is no tomorrow.

Music makes us happy but when it is played inside the mall, it must not be too loud. It distracts the customers. Not all like a loud sound. In New Zealand, Brazil, and Australia, there is no sound in their malls. It is very solemn, and calm.
That's true, if there is no music the whole place might look dull. I have even been to some small malls or supermarket that plays loud musics there are well.

That is so true especially if that is part of our culture, but there are countries like the United States no music is heard. There is also no music in shops in Aukland and Australia. The shops there are very silent unlike ours, so noisy, lol.
In my city there are so many malls like Luckone, Imtiaz etc but nowhere not even a little music there. The point is loud music will de track the customers they may lose their focus. And they feel difficulty to discuss about products with each other.
Haha, if there are stores like that over here, a lot of persons here would be scared to go there. For me though I like things moderate. You can play your music but it should not be extremely loud.

Yes, you're so right. We need music to calm down our stressful mood and to alleviate our spirits while entertaining the customers and thinking about the best business plans that gives million profits.
In my country, most businesses tend to air their advertisements on the radio stations that are normal played in the malls for the purpose of reaching their target audience for that matter.

That's another technique to reach out to people but ours here mostly music and ads. People are aware because of the ads advertise on the spot. Sometimes It's annoying and disturbing the buyers.
