May vs might

Could you tell me whether there exist any differences of meaning between

"Just the sounds of the 1960 movie thriller Psycho may be enough to get your heart racing."
&
"Just the sounds of the 1960 movie thriller Psycho might be enough to get your heart racing."?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance! There is little difference when using "may" or "might" in affirmative sentences to say that something may/might happen or may/might be true. The difference, if any, is in emphasis.
