ELI5: how do we "hear" memories?

i understand how we're able to "see" memories in our mind's eye, but how is it that we're able to "hear" memories and be able to recall people's voices and sounds? does this have something to do with the mind's eye too?

EDIT: it's been great to read all your responses! i've learned a lot, cheers for taking the time to read and reply!

Pretty much - but it would be the minds "ear" rather than the minds eye - that is the memories work pretty much the same way but the memories of visual things are processed by the same part of your brain (kind of) that processes how you see things but memories of sounds are processed by the part of your brain (kind of) that processes how you hear things.
