I mean, it’s just a specific collection of noises that somehow tingles our brains.

I assume it’s because we are great at recognizing patterns, and music is just that - patterns.

    Yes patterns, but also basic physical resonance.

    Sounds in harmony creates more powerful standing waves which will affect your cochlea more than noise.

    Whether that is also more pleasant will depend on context, but music will definitely get your attention more easily than random sounds due to this basic physical property.

    Pretty much everything in the universe are frequencies. Things that resonate are simply more powerful better than things that don’t.
