People back in the day didn't listen to music every day

Mixed true and false.

People didn't listen to RECORDED music every day. Some didn't hear music often at all.

Work songs, however were commonplace. People on farms, ships, and factories would often sing all day, believe it or not. The songs dealt with the work and would keep pace for various tasks.

Sea Shanty collection (sailing ship worksongs) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CuyLbC2TZo

Interesting experiment you have though. (I was just listening to music, to answer your question.)

I feel like singing doesnt get one the same personal response as listening to music though. I wonder if there are any studies on this. Like, the satisfaction of singing vs listening to music or something like that. Idk, I'm in bed though. Maybe ill check tomorrow.
