So I don’t know a ton about music theory, but I’m curious about how this works. Why do our brains like to hear chords that are in tune? And how do we explain why something is tuned properly?

There are certain intervals that are basically mappable by how universally pleasing they sound (it’s got to do with relative frequencies, I know it starts with octave, then 5th, and after that I get less sure), but the same can’t really be said for chords. Chords are all about context, [Adam Neely](https://youtu.be/lz3WR-F_pnM) and [Jacob Collier](https://youtu.be/EWHpdmDHrn8) have great videos that come at it from different directions.
