Well I hardly think you can do anything anyway except yell and scream :)
And I'm sure that'll you will notice the panic from the other passengers
around you  and of course the other signs (smoke, rapid descent, upside

The music on the planes need a lot to be desired anyway. I'd rather get
comfortable on the flight and listen to my own music.
