Abstract
This research paper is to explore the ways in which sound environments play a role in the cognitive function of students and how they can be affected by music and noise. The research was based on a study carried out with 47 people who were aged 18-26. It explores the effects of silence, auditory background noise, and music on the students' ability to concentrate, maintain memory, and work in their academic settings. In the course of this, the participants were given fourteen questions, and then an analysis of quantitative data was performed by applying the use of SPSS 25 version. As a result, most of the students regard a quiet environment as the ideal place to study, with other speech sounds and noise being the main distractions to concentrate. Despite the fact that rewards for musical ones have the greatest distribution, moderate music was mostly negative, with the others showing some potential in orienting the students' attention. It brings to light the truth that some students have various auditory preferences which shape them as separate individuals, sound-wise. Yet, the current study has the positive effect of being a response to the necessity of adjusting the educational process to the individual learner's needs in the project. The recommended solutions encompass noise-cancelling equipment and the creation of a personal space that is silent in order to minimize distractions and enhance the quality of education.
