How do I call a word for audible equivalent of visualize?

Question

I was looking for a word that would convey a similar meaning for "audio" as it is for "visualize." I ran into several suggestions, but as a former musician, I personally prefer the word - "audiate" from "audiation." However, when checked in google, the Wiktionary describes it as a sound that one hears without that sound physically present there.
It is funny that there is no word in English to describe it adequately, and even Google does not register such.

Perhaps you could use 'compose', the meaning of which is usually to write out and arrange for performance, but also includes doing the mental labor of putting together sounds:
From wiktionary: 4. (transitive or intransitive) To construct by mental labor; to think up; particularly, to produce or create a literary or musical work.
