waiting room music
Ambient patience filler
Waiting room music is the bland, unobtrusive background music played in doctors' offices, lobbies, and other spaces where people wait.
The genre favors soft instrumentals, smooth jazz, or easy listening—anything designed to fill silence without demanding attention or provoking strong reactions: The waiting room music did nothing to calm my nerves.
