The effect of music and white sound upon the superficial pain threshold to a thermal stimulus was examined in thirteen subjects. No statistically significant alteration in the threshold was observed.

It was possible to detect a rise in this threshold of statistical significance with the administration of 20 to 30 % of nitrous oxide in oxygen.

The reported analgesic effects of white sqund and music are discussed.
