I've been playing D&D for a few years and have noticed that when playing music and soundtracks, it tends to make the game way more immersive. I also run an IT-based company and we're looking to begin doing app development. For those who are currently DMs, this is meant to be a poll to gauge general interest.
Would an app that generates unique songs and sounds based on input that you give (ie. Evil, Castle, Thundering -- or Adventurous Traveling, Woods, Birds) be something that you'd see as helpful/would that be something you would use if it was available in the app store?
Thanks in advance for reading and sharing your input.

It already exists, syrinscape
sounds and music are great at table but remote sessions the music and sounds distract the brain and the ear from focusing. Studies where done during Covid into this and identified that attention span dropped significantly when a speaker was talking over music or sounds on zoom or an equivalent.
The science behind it is interesting, when the music and speech are both coming through the same speaker/headphones the ear lazily locks onto the repetitive sound and ignores the voice.
Syrinscape is definitely the biggest name in the "market" for ambient sound and sound effects in tabletop games. There are others, including community "free playlists" and resources. That is to do say, your market research needs to go beyond consumer interest, since there are viable products already in the market and probably look at what your likely competitors have been doing.
