This study presents the results of a comparative analysis of the effects of acoustic stimuli on the psychophysiological state of domestic animals (dogs and cats). An experimental assessment was carried out of behavioral and physiological indicators — including rest/sleep duration, heart rate, and relaxation index — under the influence of various music genres and species‑specific compositions. The aim of the research was to test the hypothesis regarding the species‑specific nature of animal responses to music, depending on its acoustic parameters (tempo, frequency spectrum, and harmonic structu...
