Did you ever hallucinate anything while not on drugs?
When I was pregnant with my son I once saw sparks raining down from the ceiling in my kitchen. It was so real that I put out my hand to see if I could catch them.

Audio hallucinations..they come from the inside not the outside. More like dreaming while being awake or just a louder thought than usual coming out of nowhere than the real thing but enough to impulsively stop and think what was that. Once it was a SW notification alert sound when I was in the woods. 😂
Then I have many issues with smells and can't tell if my sense of smell is extremely sensitive or I have olfactory hallucinations. People usually confirm that the source of smell is or was indeed there but they couldn't smell anything themselves.

@CrazyMusicLover ditto on the smell hallucinations.
Mine are typically either car anti-freeze or something burning.
I have this weird paranoia about the cooling system in my car going kaplooey, even though I am mechanically inclined and know there are no leaks.

@Punches I think our brains might sometimes mistake smells for something else too. In a form of associations. Like when people think they smell bacon or sausage when all they can smell is raw garlic. I often think I smell weed when I'm outside but they're just some random wet plants. I never had weed myself by the way. 😆

I only had a few occasions when I had an audio hallucination. A few times when falling asleep and it made me to jerk and become fully awake. In these occasions it was mostly in a form of a flashback of someone I knew saying my name. It's literally just an electric impulse, equal to a sudden shooting sharp pain. Appears on a split second like a quick super vivid memory that feels real enough for you to realize something out of ordinary happened and impulsively turn around. It sounds normal, as if this person really said it but for some weird reason you have an extremely delayed neurological response. A strayed memory of perception that suddenly emerged and appears to be more real and vivid than normal memories. In next split second you stop and think "what just happened? Did it really happen or was it just my imagination?" But you already know it was just in your head.
...When you're falling asleep, usually paralysis starts to set in as well so if you get audio hallucinations in that state the sound might be closer to whispering or if you imagine buzzing electricity or human voice slightly distorted by an electronic device, something closer to it. It's that weird feeling when your senses get extremely sensitive and strained and your senses try to catch every detail. If your brain decides to bring up a random memory at that moment, that's it. It might appear very real and startling.
I hear my kids shout me a lot when they haven't.
It happens to my mom too but for different reasons. Not shouting of course, but she mistakes other sounds with human voice and asks us what we said due to hearing impairment. @Punches
