Does a certain sound create the same color to all synesthetes (outside your novel)? For example, it might sound blue to you, but green to someone else?

Correct. Each synesthete is different, and will see different things. Even in the novel (which I so poorly explained), but the characters would have different bells for the different sound synners, and so on.

Idea based on your own experiences? I could see how some ignorant people would find it weird that this happens to you.

Actually no, most everyone I have told my synesthesia about has believe me and not thought me freakish at all. But I have ready many accounts of synesthetes who have been treated almost like mutants. It's crazy. So that's where that aspect came from.

haha, yes. Paranoia will play a big role in this novel. As well as the subject of truth.

So if you play music, does it get overwhelming or too difficult to concentrate?

It's not crazy distracting. I mean, I was born with synesthesia so I've always had it. It's no more distracting than the music itself.

lol, well I'm glad you find it so entertaining. : )
