This clue could be a double definition.

'sounds visions' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their -s form.

'names' is the second definition.
('cite' can be a synonym of 'name')

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cites that I've seen before include "Refers to" , "Mentions as an example" , "Quotes (an author)" , "Quotes as authority" , "Quotes; names" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
