A big reason why music is music and not just noise is because it’s human made. We like certain sounds more than others and we can create songs/melodies that people can connect with and tell stories. People can share happy, sad, angry, jealous, or any kind of emotion from music. Music is a healer and brings us together.
Though scientifically, the reason why music sounds good is because of the harmonic series and we like consonances more than dissonances etc, we want the feeling of home after a cadence… it’s all music theory from there.
And music make brain happy too 🙂
