I think music, which is sound, is extremely important to existence. It is a channel of experience that promotes many levels of enlightenment, about self, about the mystery of existence, about interactions with other entities, connections to the composers, and I could go on and on about what a gift music is.
The normal or average way to experience music might be that an individual likes a certain genre. Some people never veer from this idea. There isn't anything wrong with that, but music can be so much more. (Though that is not to say simple joy of it is not meaningful.)
Music can be such a great tool to open oneself up to. Whatever mood or need one has at any given moment can be enhanced and synergized with whatever music one is drawn to. It can be like a catalyst processor, reaching unconscious or forgotten places in the deep mind or more immediate catalyst in the conscious mind.
Regarding movies, documentaries etc., I feel the same. Whatever you are drawn to at the time is what may help process catalyst or generate light on one's path (and again, just joy is meaningful).
All that said, I would add that silence is equally important.
