Music is a subcategory of auditory imagery: the ability to imagine musical sound—melody, rhythm, instruments—in your mind (see audiation and mind's ear). In the Imagination Index, some items ask you to imagine music (e.g. a trumpet, a familiar melody) and rate vividness. Your Auditory category linear score combines Sounds and Music; research suggests musical and verbal/environmental auditory imagery can cluster separately, so the subcategory breakdown in the full report can be informative.
