Music can affect the audience's perception by making them feel something that otherwise wouldn't be there, it can make a scene stand out through juxtaposition, and the absence of it can give off the perception of something intense. In general, music sways our emotions about a scene, and different tracks played over the same visual can leave an audience feeling two completely different ways. For example, music with an element of suspense might create tension that otherwise wouldn't be perceived if the music was more upbeat or cheerful. In addition to creating new emotions, music can enhance certain aspects of a film like its humor. This occurs when it's juxtaposed next to a visual that doesn't seem to fit it, which allows the scene to stand out because it's different than expected. Although not always noted, the absence of music can have just as large an effect on the audience's perception of a film, because the silence creates an intensity that can't be matched by any score, and thus it's smarter to leave the music out completely.
