Eli5: How do different Radio Frequencies not alter the way music sounds?

Question

How can there be different fequencies (it’s a difference in wave-lengths right?) but the tone of the music doesn’t seem altered by it.

Answer 1

It kind of does. All audio sent over FM is modulated to fit within the data band it can handle.

>The full audio spectrum ranges form 20 to 20,000 Hz, but FM radio limits the upper modulating frequency to 15 kHz (cf. AM radio which limits the upper frequency to 5 kHz). Although, some of the signal may be lost above 15 kHz, most people can’t hear it anyway, so there is little loss of fidelity.

From [here](https://man.fas.org/dod-101/navy/docs/es310/FM.htm).

But it’s not the radio waves that affect the sound, it’s their ability to carry information that affects it.
