It's not "mounted."  "Mounting" has a specific meaning, that refers to
putting a file system on your file tree.  This isn't happening, and
can't happen - as there's no file system on an audio disc.

And there are no WAV files on a CD.  What you're seeing is an interface
that "pretends."  It's giving you an interface in your file browser that
lets you pick a track on a disc, then do something with that track,
depending on what features are built into your browser.

Behind the scenes, if you double-click on a track, an audio player
application is told to play that track.  Or, if you drag the track
somewhere, an audio-ripper is told to rip that track to a file.

All of this is done through a handler that makes it look like you're
directly dealing with files on some disc, but it's not.
