Elevator music, also known as on hold music or background music, was originally created with the specific purpose of being played in elevators, lobbies, and other public spaces. Companies like Muzak Holdings (founded in the early 20th century) were pioneers in producing music tailored for these environments. The goal was to create calming, non-intrusive soundtracks that could ease anxiety in confined spaces or during long waits.
