What is the best type of music for reducing stress or for helping create a relaxing environment? Of prime importance is that you enjoy the music that is playing. If you are listening to a nice composition and you don’t find it enjoyable in the least, it probably won’t have any positive relaxing effects. There are several genres of music that can be ideal for relaxation. Classical music is one of the best types of music for relaxation and meditation.
New Age music is another genre that has grown into a well-accepted and effective type of music for stress management. There are sub-classifications of new age music including New Instrumental, Space Music, Music for Meditation, Ambient Music, Jazz, Fantasy, World Fusion, Celtic Music, and Acoustic Guitar, among others. Commonly, these types of music use a wide variety of instruments and are usually done without vocals.

A composition which gives peace of mind is the one which is best for stress management. For me it's the slow tracks which works good.

I think it's all a matter of personal taste as to what will work for stress. I like classical, but I can get annoyed with certain movements if I'm not in the mood for it ...same with opera. If I want to be distracted and made a little happier, I can put on the Beatles. If I want quieter, it's Abby Mann.

I think it really depends on what type of person you are. Most people may prefer listening to slow or classcial music to relax, but I'm sure there are also those who could declutter their minds with loud music.

I also think that it depends on what makes the person feel stressed out. Sometimes I like listening to feel good music, while most of the time, "Duncan Sheik's "Barely Breathing" helps me relax a little.
