Fetuses at 16–39 weeks of gestation have been shown to respond to intravaginally emitted melodic sound with repetitive facial and speech movements, that can be evaluated by ultrasound. However, whether different sound types can elicit different response patterns is still unclear. We compared the effect of music of various qualities, emitted by an intravaginal device designed for this purpose, on fetal facial response.
