You don't have to watch the youtube video, just play it in the background and continue to do whatever you are doing, when the clip ends, post in a spoiler what changes of your body it has produced. Should be interesting!! + Show Spoiler +
It made my hands sweat a bunch
I just read it in my psych book and thought it's pretty interesting

Life is run, it is dance, it is fast, passionate and BAM!, you dance and sing and booze while you can for now is the time and time is mine. Smile and laugh when still can for now is the time and soon you die!

I got annoyed by the other noises besides the heartbeat and wondered what they were and why they didn't find a better way of recording it, but otherwise nothing.

I think I felt my heartbeat getting faster, but it might have been because I was already primed to think that it could have some effect on me. No sweaty hands or anything for me though.
Maybe it's because the sounds kind of scared me.

What if the music actually has a tendency to raise your heartbeat(without someone telling you about it beforehand), but you believing that it's placebo actually does what placebo does i.e. ensure that nothing will happen. You with me?
I would love to make a study with people using real pills but being told it's placebo. I have a feeling things would get interesting.

^I like how you think, placebo effect (well, counter-placebo if you will) messing around with me was the first to pass trough my mind when reading this.
And really, I believe music can actually evoke certain states of mind which may, on occasion, lead to physiological manifestations, like how you can become relaxed or nervous when listening to classical music or the soundtrack of a horror movie, respectively

It made me hungry, that's it. It didn't raise my heartrate. I checked it 4 times while listening - beginning, 1/3 of the way in, 2/3 of the way in, and at the end. The total variation of my heart rate was 6 beats per minute.....

It was very annoying to listen to the heartbeat. Other sounds didn't really bother me.
My heartbeat didn't really change much. Maybe a bit sweaty palms (I usually don't have that), but I don't know if it has to do anything with this, since it's pretty hot here, and the repulsive sound of that video stressed me and made me anxious.
Could read worse at the start, since I was more concentrated on the sound. Later I started breathing deeply to remove some tension.
