I stumbled upon an article about a research from Oxford University on:
Oxford University scientists found that people associate lower-pitched sounds with larger and more rounded shapes.
Synesthesia: 1. A condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another, as when the hearing of a sound produces the visualization of a color.
2. A sensation felt in one part of the body as a result of stimulus applied to another, as in referred pain.
3. The description of one kind of sense impression by using words that normally describe another.
Commentary: Sounds so complicated and need more time to read up to understand. It does sound very interesting!
