I feel/see the same.

Does only seeing shapes and textures moving around also
count as chromesthesia or are these two separate types: sound-shape and
sound-texture?
I also feel like I can feel the texture, but only where the
sound is coming from, not all over my body. When I listen to music with
headphones, the textures and shapes are like inside of my head because that's
where the music is playing.
When a speaker above me talks or plays music, that's also
where the textures and shapes are, but I still seem to "feel" them
somehow, as if a part of me reached over there and touched them.

I don’t know if this is Chromesthesia but when I hear music
or bird song I think about the colors it makes in my brain. It’s not super
complex and there’s not really any shapes. I think I have one childhood memory
of a cello sounding blue in my head. It is consistent but I have to focus and
think about it for a second, so like if I’m hearing a song I have to realize
I’m listening to music to see the colors in my minds eye. Is this a form of
Chromesthesia?

Hi! Yes, from what you say it sounds to me like it’s
chromesthesia. If you take a few seconds to focus on what you’re hearing before
you can see the colours, that’s not incompatible with synesthesia – it can be
like that for some people as it can be more subtle and not overwhelming. And
many have colour but not shapes. So, yes!

G-Flat Major is my favorite key, it sounds like golden, like
in fall and it reminds me of chocolate, and A-flat Major reminds me of
strawberry smooth yogurt because flat keys are the best. G Major is my least
favorite key. E minor is my least favorite key too.

helllo there! i believe i may have some sort of
chromesynethesia..? for me, different music sounds like different colours.. as
a musician in a band, as i've learnt music theory, those colours now at least
partially separate, and as im learning to distinguish more musical features,
the colour is starting to separate, and different musical features are
different colours. those colours do occasionally blur back into the one colour,
especially when i'm tired, and i have to focus to fully distinguish the colours
occasionally. happens with singing voices, songs, and some speaking voices.
some names are also certain colours. i'm not really sure if it's just
correlation or if it could be chromesynethesia...

Hi! First of all I'm sorry about such a late reply, there
were some comments at the end of 2025/start of 2026 that I didn't see.
Yes, definitely, what you say is definitely a description of
auditory-visual synesthesia or chromesthesia. And it can intensify or seem to
"separate out" for some people when they study aspects of music and
really start to focus on certain types of musical sequences and distinguish
between them. It sounds like much more than just correlation. Voices and names
are known separate synesthesia inducers too. So, yes!
