  • The meaning of “could equally well be”

We have used the verbal system, but what about the musical subsystem of the auditory system of the brain? For many people the activation of this system by a particular kind of music leads to a relaxing effect. Note that the music might well not be a gentle flute. There are people who find a heavy drum-beat relaxing.



What does "might well not be" mean in the above text? What can be used instead of that phrase?

          'might well not be' means almost exactly the same as 'might not be'



          The 'well' is just used for emphasis.



          Look at this previous thread https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/235501/difference-between-may-and-may-well



          EDIT



          Some alternatives (including some of Andrew's suggestions).




          Note that the music isn't necessarily a gentle flute.



          Note that the music could be something other than a gentle flute.



          Note that the music might well not be a gentle flute.



          Note that the music doesn't have to be a gentle flute.



          Note that the music is not required to be a gentle flute.
