 Why Do We Like or Not Like Music?

There are two commercials that I see a lot now. The one for Celebrex really grates on my nerves because of the music that is playing when it is on and because it is so long and repetitive. The other one for iPhone picks me up and makes me feel better even when I do not realize until a few seconds later that the commercial is on.

I think big music ike hard rock or classical music can make us feel different ways because of the combinations of instruments and drama but these are just simple little tunes on commercials that make me feel good or bad.

Is there something about certain notes or combinations of notes that universally make us feel the same way?

I think everybody is different. I hate the sounds made by the saxophone, the "ill wind that nobody blows any good", but my partner loves it.

I suppose there might be a small class of sounds that resonate well with everyone, but like contrex says, people vary enormously.

There actually isn't any type of music that I can listen to for any extended period of time, let's say 10 minutes for random songs on the radio, or half and hour if it's an artist I happen to really like, like Sting, that doesn't start making me tense up.

There's many times 5, 10 or 15 seconds of something is enough to totally jangle me.

I've discussed this on other threads, so no sense rehashing.
