I have really strong audio imagination (if that's a sensible term) and if i'm in a quiet area and relax sufficiently i can literally play music in my mind like an mp3 file, it's precisely as wild to experience as you'd think it is. Obviously i'm probably not actually remembering all the details of the audio but to my subjective experience it's like 95% identical to just listening to a pair of headphones.
But when i'm not relaxing and in a noisy environment it's much less extreme, i definitely hear what i imagine but it's like.. in the background and on a separate channel so there's no way i'd think i'm actually hearing it with my ears, and it's significantly lower fidelity, more like how those AI tools tended to spit out things that are sensible on a surface level but when you look at the detail it's nonsense.
I can totally make morgan freeman narrate my life so long as i remember what his voice sounds like, so if it's been a while i'll need to look it up online first to refresh.
And for reference i think? i have visual aphantasia, and my visual imagination works the same except that it's like 20% as vivid unless i'm just about to fall asleep, and when i dream it's fully vivid like real life.
