I can be loud, I can be sweet.
But I do not speak.
Made for seeing, I don't see.
Attention's what I seek.
While to you my pretty case I wish to submit.
My relatives do love to bind.
But I will never commit.

Who am I?

Is the answer:

Music

I can't hear a word you say.

I can however help you sway,

Dance

And maybe turn a head.

Some people are real 'head-turners when dancing or singing

I can be loud, I can be sweet.

Different genres of music. Some are loud (metal for example, others are sweet - love ballads)

But I do not speak.

It doesnt speak in the literal sense

Made for seeing, I don't see.

A persons taste in music allows you to see much about them, but music itself is incapable of seeing

Attention's what I seek.

Music has always been something that gains attention, from the bards in times of old, right up to now.

While to you my pretty case I wish to submit.
My relatives do love to bind.
But I will never commit.

The spoken word, poetry and so on, all obey strict rules, music however does not and can be whatever it wants, and is ever changing

a rumor

I can't hear a word you say.

A rumor is something against which you can't argue or defend yourself.

A rumor's goal is definitely to spread and to get the more attention it can.

A rumor is a matter of discussion.

Bad reputation and gossips, rumor's best friends, will be bind to you and you will not be able to get rid of it.

But I will never commit.

A rumor never commits its peddlers.
