auditory imagination

Auditory imagination is the mental ability to conjure up sounds, words, or music in your mind without any external auditory stimulus. It allows you to "hear" or imagine sounds, voices, or melodies internally, based on past experiences or creative thought. This process engages similar brain regions as actual listening, enabling you to remember, anticipate, or compose sounds mentally. It's a key part of creativity, memory, and language, helping you envision conversations, recall tunes, or imagine new sounds, all happening internally without real noise.
