The main "error" in OP's thinking, to me, is the notion that sound itself is a universal language. No, sound is not a language. True enough we can convert sound into language (e.g., onomatopea), and we can even mimic the sounds of nature with our lungs and vocal apparatus (albeit imperfectly), but the argument can be made that music is the universal language because I as an English speaker do not need to speak Japanese (or even be familiar with Japanese culture), for example, to appreciate Japanese music.
