Why do we turn up the music when we hear something we like?

Answer 1

Because every human being has, "baked in", something called craving-and-attachment. Whatever we like, we attach ourselves to it. Which, immediately, produces craving for more. Turning up the volume is one way to have "more".

Answer 2

Because you can "feel" the music if it is loud. And sometimes I think people like to show off. (i.e. Hey, look at me! I have a loud system. My glass is about to shatter, but that's fine as long as everyone within 5 miles hears my loud system and obnoxious music.)

Answer 3

Because we want to hear it out loud. If there's a silent sound we can't hear all too well so we turn up the volume. That's is my theory.

Answer 4

Because when we hear something we like we have to sing loud. Natural habit to turn up the radio so we don't hear how bad we sound. Lol! :-)

Answer 5

well, when i hear a song that i like, i turn it up because it reminds me of a certain time in my life...
example: Shimmer by Fuel...

whenever i hear that it reminds me of when i was 18, moving from a small town in Iliinois to Seattle...i was doing it all by myself and it just reminded me of a great time and a city that i have grown to love...i think everyone has their own reasons for turning it up

Answer 6

Because we like it, we want to hear more of it. We dont want other noises getting in the way!

Answer 7

It's an interest to our ear and we perk up, turn up the volume to make sure we don't miss a note or a lyric

Answer 8

I agree with Jay. We have to turn it up so we can't hear ourselves sing!!

Answer 9

So there's this void, and you can fill it with this thing called sound. Some sounds you like, others not so much. So it makes sense that you would fill it as much as possible with sounds you like.

Answer 10

because it drowns out the horrendous screech of your significant other...which we don't like
