Question Music?

I am having a bit of trouble even starting this thread, because i can't quite decide what it is i am questioning.
1) There are so many different genres of music, probably at least one genre to match each social "click."
2)Certain types of music or sounds will produce a certain effect on ones mind, whether it be an emotion or an idea or what ever.
3) Even animals (at least my few pets) seem to have a taste for music; when the piano is played, I have known two cats (neither from the same household) to come out of hiding to be near the instrument.

I suppose my question is why do the sound waves produced from various instruments (and other electrical devices) have any effect at all on organisms? I am not supposing that plants grow better when exposed to classical or baroke music or anything of that sort. There is just something appealing or even alluring about music. I am sure that "creative expression/interpretation" is nowhere included in pirimitive behaviours/instincts, and now i find myself at a baracade preventing any sort of formable thoughts. Any sort of guidance or other opinions would be greatly appreciated.
