I read that people who are sensitive to music are the exception, not the rule. The violin or piano can make me cry out of nowhere and it's a wonderful release like it's some emotion that was hard coded into my body a long time ago.

Deep tissue massage and certain exercises like the qi gong spinal cord breathing have also helped to release emotions.

Bowls are awesome. So are some chants.

There's also binaural beats which replicate the sound of two sources a few hz apart which induces brain states of that difference frequency.

I am not a fan of bassy or shrill sounds. It puts me into a physically discomfortable state which just brings on the anxiety or frustration.

Ugh, the bass travels through walls and violates other people's space which is hugely inconsiderate.

Plus whoever is near the music is way beyond safe volume levels even for 30 minutes! Dead hearing cells don't come back.

As for synesthesia, I have this hearing that can tell me where an issue is when it comes to mechanical/electrical things. I agree that it's a combination of thoughts with senses and emotions. I would call it a whole brain experience!
