Even if the person doesn't see things that aren't actually there, they might hear things that aren't real.2Blom, Jan Dirk. ‘Alice in Wonderland Syndrome: A Systematic Review.’ Neurology Clinical Practice, vol. 6, no. 3, June 2016, cp.neurology.org/content/6/3/259 They might also hear things that aren't appropriate for the image in question.

For example, the noise from a passing airplane might sound to the person like musical notes from an instrument.2Blom, Jan Dirk. ‘Alice in Wonderland Syndrome: A Systematic Review.’ Neurology Clinical Practice, vol. 6, no. 3, June 2016, cp.neurology.org/content/6/3/259 The level of distortion is generally based on the sensory perceptions of the individual.
