Does listening to music without starting the engine consume battery?

[MacArabella]

Listening to music without starting the engine consumes battery. When the car is turned off, the engine does not drive the alternator to charge the battery, so the battery remains in a discharging state. If the owner continues to listen to music inside the car, it will lead to battery depletion. Since different cars have varying numbers of audio systems, speaker power, and remaining battery levels after shutdown, the duration for which the owner can use the car audio to listen to music varies. Additionally, other electrical devices in the car also consume the battery's power simultaneously, so it is not recommended for owners to listen to music after turning off the engine. Here is some additional information: 1. Inability to start the car after battery depletion: Once the battery is completely drained, the owner will not be able to start the car normally by ignition, and deep discharging the battery will negatively impact its lifespan. 2. Listening to music while idling for long periods increases carbon buildup: It is also not advisable for owners to listen to music while the car is idling, as prolonged idling not only increases fuel consumption but also leads to carbon buildup in the engine.
