 Re: Would
Harry,
Your sentences refer to Conditional III – passed situations that did not happen (unreal passed situations).
1. I don’t know what I would have done if you hadn’t helped me.
2. If I had gone to the party, I wouldn’t have enjoyed it.
In the original sentence the speaker expresses his certainty – he is nearly 100% sure Myer “grew up with the sounds around him”.
I think he could as well say “ he must have grown up with the sounds around him.”
