I was on the bus, head on the side with my music on, the bus rattling away and I starting thinking how am I hearing the music so clearly? Since the ears ‘hear’ sound through vibrations (to my limited knowledge) and wondered what makes it special as to not be even a tiny bit interrupted or influenced by the vibrations from the bus going through my skull.

It *is* influenced by the vibrations from the bus. That’s why buses are noisy.
The vibrations you feel with your body, though, are too low-frequency for you to hear. They’re at frequencies around 1-10 Hz (Hertz = vibrations per second), and the lower end of hearing is around 40 Hz.
