Musical Anhedonia

[Analogous]

And then there are people who don’t enjoy music…an estimated 3 to 5 percent of the world’s population has an apathy toward music. That’s a significant number. Your neighbour complaining about your music could be one of them.

Why Some People Just Don't Like Music

For people with musical anhedonia, the auditory and reward regions of the brain may not interact in response to songs.

While this may be true, the complaining neighbors may not necessarily fall into that group. Usually, the complaints are about different genres or too loud volume for them.

Mathematically obvious. Assuming one has 3 neighbours (on an average), the probability of at least one of them being anhedonic would be 9-15% (going by the data in the original post), therefore leaving a high (85% or more chance) that none of them is.

Now, this can change if you consider four members in each household.
