You aren't, but you aren't alone either. A friend on a mailing list calls himself "amusical". He simply doesn't
get it. He's capable of responding to interesting
lyrics, but melody eludes him. There was an interesting discussion on the list a while back as another list member who is a musician, composer, and adjunct professor of music tried to nail down exactly what he did and didn't hear.
What constitutes tolerable background noise varies. I can have music as background and do other things in the foreground, but I
can't ignore the TV. Voices require me to pay attention to them. The SO wears headphones when she's watching, to spare me.
