Just something I've noticed over the years is that low intelligence people seem to constantly have music playing so as to avoid conversation

There is something to this. I would not make it either or stressed or stupid. I would say there are people neither stressed nor stupid who simply do not know how to be with themselves and it is unnerving (for the non stupid) and boring (for the stupid). So they choose distraction so as not to be uncomfortable in their own minds.

And not just music. TV, txting, games on phones etc.

You may be on to something. I see people with earphones or earbuds in all the time, like just walking 5 minutes they need a song. It's unnatural

I wear my earbuds a lot with no music. It's a nonverbal signal that I don't want to talk.

In the age of podcasts, it's not always music.

As a stressed person, I can testify that I use music and television to drown out my own thoughts so that I can concentrate better on stuff that actually matters at the moment.
