Quiet....i do not listen to recorded music and the peace and quiet of not having it droning in the background of life is welcome to me. I was in the recording business as recording engineer/producers and major studio owner most of my life so I have no stereo by choice.
I listen to live music almost daily however and have a wide choice of classical, opera, rock, blues, Latin, Middle Eastern, folk, bard, Chanson, jazz every night in jazz clubs, classical concert halls, rock clubs or even some very good street bands. I find I appreciate a live performance more when I am not saturated with music throughout the day. About the only recorded music, I listen to is dance music while in some of my frequent haunts of local dance clubs. That is about my only real form or aerobic exercise on the dance floor with hours of non-stop, no break dancing. I dance until 6 a.m. about 1 time a week. Otherwise walking in the city 10km or more every day going about my normal activities is the norm. I don't have a car here, my only car left is in storage in California, a restored 1974 Bora Maserati 5ltr mid-engine GT I have only driven once since moving to St Petersburg 19 years ago. My GF is of a similar view, we attend opera and classical together often but she does not like most popular music and never goes to the dance clubs with me. She will go to jazz performances occasionally.
Many of my friends are musicians or singers however and most of my many friends here are a lot younger since I was always in the youth culture, my GF at 36 is the oldest person I have regular contact with and I am 69.
