I actually disagree having listened to it as someone who gets sensory overload and panic attacks. (Disclaimer: I've just listened with headphones; the real-world implementation might change this.)

I thought the music was pleasant. I can see it helping to organically drown out the loud, chaotic, stressful noises naturally present in the airport.

I'm interested to hear what other people who get sensory overload think, though, since I'll bet it manifests in very different ways.
