Interesting and insightful article on the link between the Shivalingam (Jyotir-lingam) as a column of light, and the primordial sound AUM, as per the Linga Purana.

Jyotir-lingam: The Column of Light

An exposition in honor of Mahashivaratri.

In the Linga Purana, Lord Brahma further described the sight of the first shiva-lingam to an assemblage of gods:

O excellent gods, then from the column of light arose the thundering primordial sound AUM. It was a lucid, distinct, long and lingering sound.

As per the article, this lingam was the Brahmanda, the "cosmic egg" that represented the entire cosmos and from which this whole universe arose.

This shows the link between the Shivalingam as a column of light, and the primordial sound AUM.
