But regarding the original question....
I think there are both culturally determined responses (conditioned) and universal (innate) responses to musical sounds. All the research I have read seems to try to prove one to the exclusion of the other (or that both are false). It seems to me that sensible observation of human nature, as culturally broadly as it is possible for us to be, argues that both types of effects are real.
