Yeah this is very interesting. There are probably many different answers stemming from different philosophical perspectives.

If I could offer one answer it would be that our nervous systems (and bodies in general) are highly sensitive to vibrational patterns. Music bypasses the rational mind and directly interacts with us on a vibrational level. There have been some interesting (though somewhat difficult to believe) experiments showing that different types of music create different physical outcomes on the growth of plants.

It may also be the case for people and animals, but I am doubtful anyone is funding research on this at the moment.
