Do you think a photograph can have a “sound” or a sense of silence?

This is more of a philosophical question about photography and atmosphere.

When you take or look at a strong photograph, do you ever feel like the image has a kind of “sound” to it? Not literal sound, but more like a feeling of silence, wind, distant noise, heavy air, space, or tension.

For example, some photos feel very quiet and heavy, some feel windy, some feel like you can almost hear distant city noise, and some feel completely silent.

I’ve been thinking about how much atmosphere in photography might be connected to what we imagine hearing when we look at an image, not just what we see.

Do you ever think about this when shooting? Do you try to capture this kind of atmosphere or mood, or is photography purely visual for you?

I would be really curious to hear how photographers think about this.
