Peace be upon you.
According to Grand Ayatollah Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect them):
Listening to music is absolutely forbidden, regardless of the frequency.
Note:
The negative consequences may vary in severity, but the act itself remains prohibited. To fully understand the implications and effects, one must review all relevant narrations and their meanings.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said in a noble hadith: "The one who listens to music will be resurrected blind, mute, and deaf on the Day of Judgment, just like the fornicator, the one who plays the flute, and the one who plays the drum."
He also said: "Whoever listens to entertainment (music) will have molten lead poured into their ears on the Day of Judgment."
Furthermore, he stated: "Music and singing are the incantations of fornication," meaning they are a means that leads to fornication.
May you be successful in all good.
