Yes that is a very mild form of synaethesia. Some people also associate
lettres with colours.
You can websearch for more on synaethesia/synethesia - it's a fascinating
subject area and there are many websites and even an on-line community or
two that are quite active.

quote _The Difference between Music and Noise is all in your Head_
"... simple, chaotic, anarchic and menacing.... This is what people of today
have lost and need most - the ability to experience permanent bodily and
mental ecstasy, to be a receiving station for messages howling by on the
ether from other worlds and nonhuman entities, those peculiar short-wave
messages which come in static-free in the secret pleasure center in the
brain." - Slava Ranko (Donald L. Philippi)
