If you ask me its helps safety.
Unless you're in the pits trying to communicate with a teammate that you are, say, turning the robot on and warning them to be careful. In that case, loud music can prevent your teammate from hearing your warning.

Another thing with the music-I find that when judges are asking me questions, it's really hard to hear them because so many teams have loud, bad music playing. It is also difficult for them to hear us when we answer their questions. Of course, the arena is already loud because of music playing by the field and people cheering, but individual teams blasting music from their carts because they think it's cool that they put speakers into their cart is just plain annoying and excessive.
