Noise, music and language (in the spoken form) are all sounds, and we are trained from before the birth to separate sounds into meaningful ones, music and the rest. I once read that Japanese babies, already when they are a few months old, cannot distinguish the sounds "L" and "R", when French babies can. I think it's the same with music. The notes we learn to identify as music are very few I think, compared to oriental melodies. And we also learn to associate specific combinations of notes as music, and again that is different in other cultures.
I wonder what Klingon music sounds like?
