[humility]

Recently, I watched a documentary in which some characters sat in the middle of the jungle next to a gushing stream, only to be spellbound by the croaking of toads—sometimes solitary, sometimes in unison—for hours on end. I wonder if there's a connection between the natural harmony of sounds and mental stimulation, or a sense of 'mental peace' in a certain mental state, which music taps into as well?

Speaking as someone totally new to music theory, I found it quite interesting to arrive at this question.
