FWIW i also have aphantasia, but i have an internal monologue and pretty good auditory imagination, and i hallucinate sounds quite often when it's quiet and i'm laying in bed. I also get a light form of sleep paralysis every now and then, where i'll wake up and my brain insists that garderobe handles are insects or whatever.

So yeah i think that broadly jives with your hypothesis, since i get auditory hallucinations while awake but only get visual ones when in a severely altered state of mind.
