Question: What is it called when you can remember sounds like a photographic memory?
when people talk to me, I can remember exactly, not only what they say, but in the exact pitch they say it in. i can go back in my memory and it replays like its coming out of a voice recorder. even if tons of people talk to me after them i can still remember. comes in handy at work. also people tell me i have super human hearing, i can hear what people are whispering, clear across the room in a crowded area such as a restaurant, or over loud machines. also i can hear things that one one else can such as my cell phone vibrating clear across my house. its just a little strange sometimes.

A photographic memory is called "eidetic imagery." I haven't seen a special term for the aural equivalent of photographic memory. "Eidetic memory" covers perfect memory that can be either visual or aural. So you could call your ability "aural eidetic memory."
