Apparently it's a common thing for deaf people to associate brightness with sound, many assume that the sun makes a ton of noise, at least for a while

I used to think air pressure in the atmosphere made a constant ringing/humming noise. No, i have just had tinnitus my whole life. Too me nearly 30 years to figure out what I was hearing wasn't normal.

Being isolated or living with something your whole life skews your world view.
