In regards to sound: If you take a tuning fork and smack it, it will vibrate. Vibration can be pleasurable. If the tuning fork is a brain, and the smack is music, then the result is a contented or slightly altered-from-the-norm feeling, that might be akin to the vibration of a tuning fork if tuning forks like vibrating.

This makes it seem like wireheading.

By the same logic eating you favorite food because it tastes good is also wireheading.

Well no because you have to eat SOMETHING. You could just not listen to music.
