It seems there is evidence that our larynx moves when we think. So the inner voice is actually ours as well.
whatever I want
It sounds like me, and it’s judgy
sounds like me
My internal monologue has no sound, it’s just raw words. Not text, just the concept of words.
My thoughts can have a voice if I give it one, but not by default. Usually things only have “sound” in my head if I’m playing a song in my head or something.
For me no inner voice of any kind. It’s just sort of there. No minds eye either.
If anyone wants to look them up they are called Aphantasia (no pictures in mind) and Anendophasia (no inner voice).
This is me too. Though I can generate an inner steam of words, those words have no audio qualities and are purely conceptual. They also come “after the fact”. I’m thinking of words, rather than words being the medium of my thoughts.
I have a minds eye and can give my thoughts a voice if I choose, but they aren’t there by default. Interestingly though, I am a parent to a child who appears to have aphantasia.
Me and the other me speak and argue a lot, but it has no sound. No voice. Only words. The funny thing is that I’m crazy, as in labelled with schizophrenia and all, and there is absolutely no voice in my head, not even an inner one, not even when I’m reading.
It sounds like a pirate which is me.
Which voice?
I sound more confident in my head than when I actually say things out loud, I wish my outer voice was just as confident as my inner voice
It usually sounds like me. I can hear it in someone else’s voice if I’m thinking about something they said or might say. I can use other voices too, or make one up, but that takes more effort.
There’s also one that feels like a ghost of my real voice. That’s the fastest one to think in. It’s very neutral and colorless (for anyone else who thinks of voices in terms of colors).
Usually sounds like Jay, from Jay and Silent Bob.
Noyge, noyge, noyge.
I always think it’s what I sound like until I hear a recording of myself. My real voice is a little bit deeper, but other than that it’s close.
It doesn’t have a sound, it’s just the words themselves.
I know this is impossible to describe like explaining vision to a blind person, but how does that work? I can hear mine and can not hear someone if I’m thinking hard enough
Maybe I do hear it in some sense, but in my head it doesn’t seem to have the sound of a voice in the sense that you hear Professor Farnsworth’s distinct voice when you read, “Good News, Everyone!” My own thoughts don’t seem to have a sound. Maybe it’s just a neutral sound that doesn’t seem to be a sound because it’s my own thoughts, I dunno.
Can you hear music if you focus on it? If so what do singers sound like?

Same here to some degree. I can make it lower-pitched, and it still feels natural, but not higher-pitched without focusing hard for some reason.
our head voices are only ever versions of ourself. we’re not hearing presidents or celebrities when we think. only when things around us are really bad do we think-talk over each other.
