  1. Listening to music can be bad whenever it is promoting something bad, like a robbery or harmful actions. Yes the volume can make a big difference, the louder it is the more it will get you excited. Some other things that can help your mind focus, could be tapping your foot or little habits like that. There is a lot of music that is completely inappropriate and is used for a different purpose than focusing. There can also be music that just makes you lose focus and seem like you go into another world.
