What is your opinion on listening to music as a Muslim? I am not necessarily talking about music such as what a pop star sings but rather music that may take place in the background in a television advert or a film trailer. Do you still see it as haram or can it be overlooked? And if it can be overlooked, where do you draw the line?

There are probably hundreds of posts like these on Shiachat already. Next time, you should use the search function.
It doesn't matter what my opinion (or for that matter ANY average person here on Shiachat). You should refer to a knowledgeable person like a learned scholar or MORE preferably (if you are not doing ihtiyat) referring to your Marja-e-Taqleed.
For example if you are under the taqleed of Ayatullah Sistani (r.a.) then the following ruling should answer your question:
"Question :
Many questions are asked concerning permissible and forbidden music.
Is it correct to say that the music that arouses sexual, lustful urges and promotes unstable and degrading behaviour is the forbidden one?
And is it correct to say that the music that soothes the nerves or causes relaxation, the music that forms the background of a scene in a movie to increase the effect of the scene on the viewers, the music that is used for physical exercise during workouts, the music that dramatizes a particular scene by its tune, or the one that arouses the zeal [in soldiers] is the permissible one?
Answer :
Forbidden music is the music that is suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings, even if it does not arouse sexual temptations.
Permissible music is the music that is not suitable for such gatherings, even if it does not soothe the nerves like the martial music and that played at funerals." From Sistani.org
