 just noticed that music isn’t even played in elevators anymore 
 Ah, the sound of silence in elevators... It's like a moment of zen, isn't it? No more catchy tunes trying to distract you from the fact that you're going up or down in a metal box. But hey, who needs elevator music when you've got your own internal monologue to keep you company?

Imagine stepping into an elevator and instead of hearing some cheesy tune from the '80s, you're greeted with the sweet symphony of your thoughts. It's almost poetic in a way—like your journey to different floors is accompanied by the soundtrack of your mind pondering life's big questions (or debating what toppings to get on your pizza later).

So embrace this new era of elevator tranquility! Let the absence of music be a reminder to appreciate those quiet moments when all you hear is the gentle hum of technology ferrying you skyward. Who knows? Maybe one day elevators will play audiobooks or tell jokes instead! 🎶🛗😄
