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.

I mean imagine the documentary initially with Gottfried and then swap in Attenborough... Bad to good right? I think there's a point here about good films being easy to ruin in many different ways, while bad films are probably already ruined in several ways so fixing one thing like a voice is unlikely to save it.

How about another person standing next to you singing along? Boom, louder, and no electronics involved at the campfire.

The most exciting thing in my life right now is the spreadsheet I just made to track chores.
