SOUNDS OF EMOTION

It is strange how sounds, without any word, can make you sad or jubilant.
Veena, the musical instrument of Goddess Saraswaty, can be played in such a way as to make the listener weep!
A note played in flute may lift you to the heights of joy. It is said that even the cows listened, when Krishna, the cow boy, played his murali (flute)!
Muraliwale, murli bazaa, sunu-sunu….in the old film DILLAGI, which still enthrawls me.
Even the meek will gladly go to war, when the march is accompanied by the band, playing martial music.
Certain sounds make you irritated, as that produced by rubbing coconut shell on rock or by beating an empty iron drum.
Is there any scientific explanation?
