unfortunately you have a very finite view of what God has prepared for us.
"Eyes have not seen" is a profound biblical statement of what God has prepared. God is not in a "kumbaya" box, although that is, admittedly, a funny thought.
He is infinate. So I think He has the ability to make our heavenly experience infinate as well.
:D

Since I'm a Christian, I know Heaven will be all that you mentioned plus more, and I'm very looking forward to it because I love God. A believe Heaven will be better than the best places on earth.
I expect that hell would be worse than the worst experiences of living in this world. With that in mind, have you ever thought about the possibility that if Heaven and hell do exist, and you don't believe, and you end up going to hell, then the scenario you just mentioned could be what happens to people in hell? If you don't like having to deal with hearing it by people in this world, wouldn't that be hell for you to have to listen to that for eternity?
(And I'm not telling you that you are going to hell. Only God can decide that. I'm just giving a hypothetical scenario.)

The best part about heaven is being in the presence of the One who was pierced for our sins, Jesus Christ. To know the Lord is to love Him, and when you truly love Him your greatest desire is to be where He is. Time will mean nothing to us in heaven because our hearts and minds won't be earthly, but heavenly. We do not cease from learning about the Lord ever in eternity because He is infinite and endless in love and awesomeness. When man steps into heaven, he / she has no need for anything else. And the blessings of heaven transcends anything our minds can comprehend
( 1 Corinthians 2:9).

The best part of heaven is called the "Beatific Vision," which is the face to face vision of God and His embrace for all eternity.
God is not a physical being, nor can He be put into any of our categories of thought (although He can be known by us by a process of analogy, not as He is in Himself in this life), but infinitely transcends anything that can be thought or understood in this life - St. John of the Cross says that no concept or object of the sense can be a means to union with God, since He is infinitely above these.
Union with Him in heaven will satisfy all our longings for intimacy, as well as for the vision of beauty and the understanding of truth (for God is Pure and Absolute intelligibility).
Anything that is good or attractive on this earth is but a mere reflection of the goodness and attractiveness that the blessed will experience of God in heaven - it will completely satisfy all desires and will last for all eternity.
So sin in turning to a lesser good, in detriment to God, is not only wrong, but illogical as well, as a part is chosen in preference to the whole.
