Why does it sound like my music is playing faster?
In your differing levels of psychological flow state, music will sound slower and faster. Probably faster if it's just background, and slower if you're focussed. Not only that, but your heart rate comes into play too. The perceived tempo of a song depends a lot on it.
Why does music seem faster when I wake up?
Why does music sound faster in the morning and slower at night? Because your perceptual time is different. After waking your mind is slower and takes a while to get up to speed, so the music tempo is relatively faster.
Why does music feel faster at night?
Sound waves travel faster through denser air, which is cooler at night. As a result, music may sound faster at night. In general, sound waves travel more slowly in warm air than in cold air. This is also why sound seems to travel farther on a cold day than on a hot day.
