why do certain chords in music sound “better” than others?

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?

Frequency interpretation.
A single note that resonates is easily understood and interpreted.
Notes beside each other cause an interference banding of harmonics. They are dissonant and easy to dislike because they are difficult to interpret or recognize.
