The sound of Buddhist chanting characterized by both speech and music, it played an important part of traditional culture. Its unique auditory effect needs to be studied and developed. In this paper the auditory effects of the chanting sound were explored from two aspects: mood survey and physiological parameters. The experiment was designed from the perspective of subjective auditory perception. Experiments showed that the chanting sound inhibited negative emotions, enhanced sense of calm, slowed down heart rate and increased imbalance of EEG power first, then balanced it. In contrast experiments, we found that listening to traffic noise stimulated negative emotions, inhibited positive emotions and continuously enhanced imbalance of EEG power.
