what you are referring to is called synaesthesia. Although most commonly experienced as a result of hallucinogen use this phenomenon is also indicative of mental illness

Phantom Smells or Scents do exist. I have experienced it for sure one time. There was no explanation for smelling what I did. I was in a sterile environment. Inside of a building. There was no way I could have smelled what I did. I am not sure what triggered it. There was no music. and quiet. It caught me off guard because it was such a strong scent. So I backed up, I traced my steps backwards to smell it again. It was still there. So okay what did I smell? It's not at all what your thinking. It was cotton candy. Yes, I'll never forget that moment. It stunned me. Go figure. How did a smell like that happen out of thin air.
I haven't tasted a touch, yet. But, who knows...

normally, no. because the organs of senses are differentiated, represented at different areas of the brain and there are different end organs/nerve endings which accept the sensory stimuli.Theoretically, it is possible.If you connect the nerve, carrying electrical stimuli of touch sensation from the skin to the area in the brain responsible for sensing taste sensation. Similarly, one can connect the nerve carrying the sound sensation from the ears to the smell area of the brain.; and an electrical stimulus created at the peripheral organ of hearing, will stimulate the smell area of the brain and one can smell a sound.
By the way, do you know, under the influence of LSD people hear colours and can even smell the music. Even cats given LSD prefer to walk sideways rather than walking to the front?

Yes, there is a condition called synaesthesia. This is caused by nerural cross-wiring in the brain, causing a mix between the senses. Some people can taste colours, for example. See link below.

No, but you can touch a taste and sound a smell.

Sure, that was an easy question:
You taste a touch when you eat something like an ice cream cone, you touch the ice cream with your tongue.
And you smell a sound like popcorn popping.

Yes, a lot of times one sense will remind us of something that has to do with another sense. Sometimes the smell of the ocean will remind you of the sound of the waves. Things like that.

I got the answer from others, but yes, it's possible:
You can taste your finger, which is a touch.
You can smell a sound, when someone farts, your nose knows.

hey, how could you identify a good answer if u dont even know the correct spelling of the word? sense of touch can be felt by your skin, sense of smell to your nose and a sound for your sense of hearing. each one has different functions and so how can they possible exchange functions?
