An interesting question. It also applies to sight and smell.

I read just recently that early pioneer reports of seeing the Rocky Mountains from a certain distance on the plains is impossible today because of the smog.

It's also known that rural tribesmen in many parts of the world can see and hear better than city people.

Back a few years ago, in the 70's, there was a concern that rock n' roll musicians were losing their hearing at very young ages because of the volume at which they played.

So, growing up in a quieter environment would, I should think, make you more sensitive to the nuances of music. But, maybe not be as
"hip" to all the new sounds ?
