Intriguing: Whether dissonant noises dissruptive to fetus unknown. In my opinion fetus likely sensitive to noise & harmonic sounds probably more relaxing than disharmonic. Given choice i would choose classical music over vacuum cleaner sound for in-womb fetus exposure. Occasional vacuum sound not expected to be harmful.
