Monkeys Like Silence…….and Metallica

Usually, animals hate music. Monkeys DESPISE human music. For proof, the national symphony orchestra played for the monkeys and the monkeys went CRAZY. Some music even makes monkeys scared. When monkeys hear human music, they get all jittery and freak out, but that has changed. A group of monkeys in Wisconsin were tested to music by a band called “Metallica”, and were calmed and tranquil. Surprised, the scientists studied human music. The outcome they came with was against their surprising find. Human instruments to animals and other creatures are like listening to nails on a chalkboard. The Wisconsin scientists found that if they could get the right music, or compose a perfect monkey song, they could influence the monkeys, and maybe even train them. Also, the reaction was similar to babies in long 1 note tones. So if you hate Metallica, don’t scream that you hate it around any monkeys.
