ambient music
Ambient music refers to a kind of music that envelops the listener without drawing attention to itself [1]
“ 'Ambient Music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable as it is interesting

background music
Although background music was by the end of the 20th Century generally identified with Muzak or Elevator music, there are several stages in the development of this concept:
Contents [hide]
1 Antecedents
2 Furniture music
3 Elevator music
4 Ambient music
5 Anime and video game music
6 See also
.....................................
Note however that some producers and/or composers of "Ambient music" or "soundscapes" (or similar associated types of music, see Ambient article) might not have (had) any intention to use the qualifier "background" for their music.
