One account has to do with the influence of labels, as imposing some kind of structure. In this case, using distinct words to refer to colours vs (typically) lack of such for sound frequencies, see for example Gary Lupyan (2012) (pdf).
I have no education in labeling sounds, but I do think I generally attach more "meaning" or structure to them than I do to colors.
