I came across this well made animation that explains what happens to sound waves once they enter our ears.
What happens outside (source, conversion, amplification, cables, speakers, rooms and a thousand other details) our heads are extensively discussed in audio forums.
The fascinating world of what happens inside us is less discussed. Tweaks are also less easy/possible inside our skulls.
Have a look and marvel at the complexity and wonderful evolution that makes our hobby/passion possible.
Addendum:
A friend of mine points out tweaks are possible inside our brains too.
Mood enhancement/alteration can be done in a variety of ways. Though the reverse is probably more common: good quality, preferred music enhances mood.
Context matters. A lot.
And dare I open a can of worms.....how about psycho-acoustics.
Trying to find a YouTube video that explains all this too.
