In primal man, sounds would give extra insight on what's around you. You may not know what a sound is, but you need a reaction. Lets say you're wondering around in the forest with nothing on but a torn up animal hide. You hear a big sound, it creates fear, because it's something big like a predator you might need to run from. You hear the sound of trickling water far away, it calms you, because you know you might be near somewhere safe for survival.
Music very much imitates nature. Maybe it's just a way to communicate our experiences to each other in a way that we felt the experiences. Maybe to warn, or to educate as a whole of how we translate feeling them.
I don't know the scientific validity of this. Just my initial hypothesis.
