I find it one of the more amazing things, that so much of our physical world has a time/frequency dimension.
And our bodies have at least a couple of obvious senses (vision and hearing) to experience some frequency ranges. And with modern computing power, many natural phenomena on our planet and across the universe can be morphed into ranges we can see or hear.
And this in turn not only aids in scientific understanding, but also allows (some of) us to respond emotionally.
And that keeps me awestruck, even when other properties of our species can be utterly depressing.

Conversely, the character laments the sensory limitations of the human body :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPnx3zO3SDc&t=73s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPnx3zO3SDc&t=73s
