¿Les molesta que él escuche la música fuerte?

I still look at this and I want to put Le rather than Les.

What is plural in this sentence?

Les is the indirect object for they (them).

La música me molesta (It bothers me)

La música te molesta (It bothers you, singular)

La música le molesta (It bothers him, her or it (a dog))

La música nos molesta (It bothers us)

La música os molesta (It bothers you plural, informal --- vosotros)

La música les molesta (It bothers them) or (It bothers you formal, ustedes)

In this case, we are not saying that it bothers "him," rather we are saying that it bothers them, therefore requiring les.

Les molesta que sigas hablando. (It bothers them that you keep talking)

Les molesta que él escuche la musica fuerte. (It bothers them that he listens to the music....)
