Methods: A total of 15 non-severe COVID-19 cases who were willing to participate in the study with an SPO2 greater than 94 % and no other comorbidities were chosen for the study. These patients were in home isolation and were receiving the medicinal therapy for covid disease already. The patient had to listen to the sound therapy twice a day for an hour for 5 days using earphones in isolation. Depression and anxiety among the patients were assessed using a Questionnaire-(standard Hamilton anxiety and depression scoring system). Results: A total of 8 male and 7 female patients took part in the study. The musical notes had a calming effect on the patients.There was a significant decrease in anxiety and depression among patientsand the results were statistically significant.
