Light *does* 'sound' like good music. You just detect the 'sound' with
your eyes instead of with your ears. If you look at a lovely painting,
you are seeing the music of light.

Seriously.

Both are waves, a combination of different frequencies overlapping. The
organs of our ears are designed to be sensitive to one kind of wave,
and our eyes are designed to be sensitive to another kind of wave.
