I’m in the part (on Phantasy, Image Consciousness, Memory, by Edmund Husserl) of my dissertation where the topic of “imagined” sounds (I put “imagined” in quotes, because I’m not sure a word based on “image” is proper for describing the mental experience of sounds you aren’t receiving from your environment) is a topic of some concern, you see.

A great guitar tone, the timbre of a favourite singer's voice as they spit out a particularly satisfying syllable... that sort of thing. This is actually incredibly useful for soothing headaches, I've found: clear my consciousness and focus on, say, Brian Eno or Tim Hecker - a nice, lukewarm, midrange-heavy mental ointment. Happily, I’ve graduated to a point of music geekdom where I (almost) never get songs stuck in my head - only sounds. A great guitar tone, the timbre of a favourite singer’s voice as they spit out a particularly satisfying syllable… that sort of thing.
