A familiar melody can seem to play in the mind even when no sound is coming from outside. In one experiment, silent gaps inserted into songs triggered measurable brain responses linked to perception, attention, and anticipation; participants could mentally fill in missing lyrics. This is not sound reaching the ears, but musical imagery.
