    Totally. No question about that. To help you know what I mean, think about the time that you hear a song on the radio that you really like and you are driving. Do you speed up the car? How about when a song that brings back good memories comes on, do you slow the car down and relax and listen?

    Linkin Park - Bleed It Out gets me driving in excess of the speed limit.

    Most certainly! Say you're listening to slow, calming music as opposed to fast up-beat music.

    Most definately and not just the heart rate. It can affect blood pressure, respiration rate, emotions, state of mind ...

    From what I have found, recent research suggests slow music influences a person's relaxation, and that musical pauses modulate heart rhythms (in a good way). The study was published in "Heart," a British Medical Journal publication, and used a variety of musical genres, from techno to raga to classical.

    The researchers found that music with faster tempos resulted in increased ventilation, heart rate, and blood pressure. When the music was paused, ventilation, heart rate, and blood pressure decreased, sometimes below the beginning rate. Slower music caused declines in heart rate, with raga music influencing the largest decline. Overall, researchers agreed that the style of music wasn't as important as its pace.

    Music has also been shown to reduce stress, benefit athletic performance, and enhance motor function in people with neurological impairments. So turn up the volume and chill out.

    Studies have shown that Bach ,Vivaldi ,and Mozart music significantly reduces the heart rate and aids relaxation.

    music does effect certain peoples heart rate. for example in movies with a very intense action scene, you can notice the music becomes more intense which makes the scene go more fast passed and seem alot cooler and intense. but if it was like some calm classical opera it would have like the reverse effect. also if you think about the music trying to affect your heart rate, it most likely wont happen because subcounsioucly it wount happen
