Is the experience of beauty an emotion?

I find low droning sounds connected to feelings of calm, solidarity, stability, and a resting place, especially when they're accompanied by a bit of white noise, for example in large-scale air-conditioning systems. (Air-con can make beautiful, beautiful noises). It's only when they're dissonant that they're gloomy...
