hmmThis is true. Noisy people scare away wildlife life. I am not sure music is any worse than talking people, but I could easily see the consistent noise and wide range of pitch being more problematic for animals than talking. Plus, intermittent talking provides opportunities for quite in the conversation breaks.
I admit that the last time I took my older child on a walk in the woods, he talked incessantly about video games the entire 3.5 miles and I've not invited him out again. It wasn't fun. Now we just go to a coffee shop or out for sushi instead.
seems like it should be possible to balance two modes of hiking experience here
but ymmv quite literally in this case
