What you have to ask yourself is 'What is the most useful definition
of the word music?'.  I do not believe that defining music to be able
to mean (non-metaphorically) a car revving up is useful.  Its not
about subjectivity and I respect your opinions etc.  etc., its about
communication.  'organised' sounds can be random and still music, but
natural sounds can't.  They are by definition, non-musical sounds.
