Well this is just one example of aural imagery...
"And the coming wind did roar more loud,
And the sails did sigh like sedge;
And the rain poured from one black cloud;
The moon was at its edge." (Part V Line 318-321)
But basically Coleridge is using descriptive to paint a scene in your head (think of it as a movie?) Where you can not only see the billowing sails and the chopy sea but can also hear the rushing gale of the wind. I think he uses Aural imagery in adition to visual imagery because most people can relate to those two senses most.
(my opinion)
Coleridge uses aural imagery in Part V of the Ancient Mariner by describing the sound of the sails flapping and the rustling of the leaves as the ship moves through calm waters. He creates a vivid auditory experience for the reader, enhancing the sense of serenity and suspense in the poem.
Aural imagery refers to descriptive language that appeals to the sense of hearing. It is used to create vivid mental images or evoke specific sounds through words, engaging the reader's auditory senses. This type of imagery helps to enhance the reader's overall sensory experience of the text.
Aural imagery can enhance the listener's emotional engagement, memory retention, and overall understanding of a piece of music. It can also evoke specific sensations, memories, or moods by appealing to the auditory senses. Aural imagery is a powerful tool used by composers to create immersive and impactful musical experiences.

Imagery of sound- sound words (onomatopoeia) help create aural imagery. you can imagine the scene as well as hear what is going on in the scene. eg. 'the school bell rang(sound word) and Dana got ready for assembly.'
