Well I'm not an official member, and I've never played music nor have I brought bells so I was going off what I had been told one time or read somewhere.
Here's NPS.gov's official take on it:
And here's Park City, Utah's guidance:
Though NPS also says this but I think it's in reference to when you're camping, not specially hiking (it's from their leave no trace section):
This is what I could find in 30 seconds and won't spend any more time on it. I don't care enough as I don't play music or wear bells when hiking, even when alone. I just relayed something I had heard and there are plenty of people out there who had heard the same things so that's what I got.
Understandable when it comes to bells for wildlife. But I know for sure items like speakers really are frowned upon. Though I've never had any encounters with loud music during the hikes I've been on at Zion so that's good
