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".

But doesn't "imagine" specifically relate to imagery? It seems like we don't have a word that relates only to sound.
