If I ask you to think of a place you love, you might mentally "see" that place in your mind. We usually call this "visualisation".
I would like to know if there is a similar word for when you think of a sound and you mentally "hear" it in your mind. Is there such a word or expression?
For example: I love the sound of the wind blowing thru the aspen forest. When I miss my home in the mountains, I just visualise those beautiful aspens and I _________ the sound of the wind.

Audiation - the sensation of hearing or feeling sound when it is not physically present.
So, when I am missing my home in the mountains (!) I just audiate the sound of the wind and I am there (in my mind's ear).
