What's the word for the aural version of visualising?
Like, when you can hear something in your mind? Is there a word for this?

Thank you! I wonder why the word isn't commonly used?
Reading more about audiation I'm not sure it's the right word. It seems to be specifically about music, whereas I'm thinking more broadly. e.g. A word that conveys the same meaning as "imagine" or "picture" or "visualise".
I did think you meant music specifically because 'imagine' does already encompass what you are describing.
But doesn't "imagine" specifically relate to imagery? It seems like we don't have a word that relates only to sound.
I think visualization is video-only imagination, audiation is sound-only imagination and not having any constraints imagination is just free form.
I certainly don't think that 'imagination' is soundless, if you asked me to imagine Disney World the sounds would be included in my mental recreation.
that's my take anyway
Thanks, I appreciate your take.
