I'm hoping it's at least music that she enjoys. And are you sure that it's just not tinnitus, as that can be different sounds in ones ears, like humming or whistling, and is often linked to traumatic brain injury such as a stroke.
I love music and I have a song or songs in my mind that I either sing or hum throughout the day, and I haven't had a stroke. In fact I usually wake up with a song on my heart. I call it the joy of the Lord, as all my songs are Christian songs.
If this bothers your sister she should talk to her neurologist to what if anything can be done to help it.

Instead of visual hallucinations, she may be having audio hallucinations

We don't swear on this forum, so if you can change your name that will help.

I have no clue, but just googled it and there was quite a bit of info.

So I would go to Google or ask meta AI , or your sisters doctors

Since none of us are neurologists or know anything about your sister's medical history there is no way we can come up with anything more than you can discover through a web search. All I have to offer after my own web search is that if she finds this troublesome she needs to pursue it with her neurologist, medications may be helpful

There is a book by Dr Oliver Sacks titled Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain. It covers many topics of neurodiversity and music, including musical hallucinations. I'll admit I never read it cover to cover like many of his other books. From memory it is full of fairly detailed medical information but I enjoyed the many personal case stories.

I have met many people changed by stroke. The brain is a complex thing.. I can certainly see having a patch of 'circuits' burnt out by stroke could cause some 'rewiring' in new/unusual ways.

I hope the music is enjoyable.

This would be a question for a Neurologist and or an Audiologist.
I currently have Cicadas living in my head. Have been for about 2 maybe 3 years. If you ask me I could not tell you exactly when it began but the noise is there. Sometimes I hear music, mostly it is cicada like noise.
No real explanation for Tinnitus that I have found and no "cure" there are ways to supposedly mask the sound but it is with another sound. Not sure if I want another sound replacing the one I have so I have not been aggressive seeking "help"
Do a quick Google search for Tinnitus and there are places that deal with that particular diagnosis.
If it really bothers her she should see someone.
It can get real annoying and it actually caused the founder of Texas Roadhouse to commit suicide. He developed it after having Covid and from what I have read it is a common lasting Covid effect. Although it can be caused by other neurologic factors.
