    Our ancestors benefitted from recognizing the nuances in each other’s vocalisations. How exactly that translates to enjoyment I’m not sure, but I guess enjoying listening to vocalisations means you focus more on it so you can recognize more nuance. Similar to why we enjoy looking at actors’ faces and recognizing emotions that way.
