Withdrawal from alcohol does not last for 4 months. Unless he is binge drinking intermittently
Elaborate on pattern of his drinking?
If he has been drinking for long it would cause mental health issues.
Considering his age has he got any problems with his hearing/ ears get it checked .

It could be a withdrawal hallucination if he was continuously taking alcohol, or it can be seen as a continuation from the time the person had stopped alcohol.
It could be part of alcohol induced psychosis.
You need to discuss with the psychiatrist and treatment is available.
