Yogananda does indeed emphasize listening to the sounds. What is the purpose of Kriya after all, if not to merge into the Divine- one aspect of which is sound?

Here is also another mention of kechari mudra by Yogananda, from the early Precepta Lessons (see #2):

FOOD IN THE FUTURE

The future food of the world will all come by receiving different rays from Cosmic Energy, Cosmic Rays, electrons, atoms, and air, drawn through different openings of the body.

1. If one constantly keeps his mind concentrated upon the point between the eyebrows (at the Christ Center) and sees there the Spiritual Eye and commands it to recharge the body with strength, it will do so. By doing this, people would cease to grow old.

2. Drawing energy from the cerebrum and medulla by connecting the tip of the big tongue with the little tongue (uvula).

3. Energy may be drawn from the sun by covering the whole body with a piece of thick blue silk or a blanket and keeping the medulla exposed with the sun shining there, on the back of the head. Concentrate upon the back of the head and feel it getting warmer and warmer. Feel the energy being stored in the brain and distributed through the body.

4. Take a sun bath and concentrate deeply upon the sun-bathed surface of the body, and drink the sunshine in through every pore of the body. Concentration upon the sun rays gives one hundred times greater results than taking a sun bath absent-mindedly.

Sit upright on a chair. Close your eyes. Expel the breath quickly, but start inhaling very slowly through nostrils, thinking that the air is filling your brain, lungs, heart, spine, stomach, abdomen, thighs, legs, arms, and so forth. You can also inhale quickly and fill the whole body with the atomic power in the oxygen.

Precepta Lessons, Volume 3, by Swami Yogananda, 1938
