Background Sounds is a UK-based royalty-free music streaming platform designed for business owners who want professional, high-quality background music at a fraction of traditional PRS/PPL licensing costs.

You can stream out playlists with confidence. They are designed to be played in businesses as background music. This means we’ve selected tracks appropriate for customers and staff, so there are no inappropriate lyrics or explicit language.
Our music library is filled with a fantastic selection of playlists that you can stream in your business. Our easy-to-use platform makes setting up a doddle

Playlist Sector Tabs
Sector Tabs are a feature of our playlist library added to make your life easier. They’re great for when you want to save time selecting a playlist or when you want some added inspiration! Designed to make selecting background music quick and easy, the sector tabs provide a list of playlists covering a variety of genres, tempos, and moods.
The sector tabs are at the top of the playlist library. You can use them to filter playlists we would recommend for your business.

Every playlist in our library also comes with a tempo indicator, description and running time (before the tracks repeat).
What Genres Do Our Playlists Cover?
Where do we start? People often think there’s little genre choice for royalty-free music, but that’s just not true. We have stacks of choice, and if there’s something you need that we don’t have in the library, just ask. We’re always happy to see what we can do.
60+ Playlists Covering Over 20 Genres
Genres include…
Pop, Indie, Dance, Soul, Disco, Country, Classical, Jazz, Ambient, Spa, Lounge & Chill, Trance, EDM, R&B, Country, Deep House and many more!
What is Royalty-Free Music?
It’s music that any business can play without the traditional PRS PPL Music Licence. This is because the PRS PPL collection agencies do not collect the royalties for the artists we use. A music licensing agency pays our artists instead. For you, this means you can play music in your business without the additional cost of the PRS Music Licence.
