I here the cables whistling as they go around.

Nope. People hear sounds with their ears. They perceive sounds (and all other sensory inputs) with their mind. But not every sound triggers a perception of that sound, and not every perception of a sound is due to a vibration of your ear drum.
(Of course,) There’s an enitre subreddit full of these sorts of gifs.
I wouldn’t say I preceive my internal monologue, certainly not in the same way my mind hears the thud when the tower lands. In a way it is like asking what a deaf person “hears”. Even if I lost my senses I would still hear myself or my mind. Even without language I would still be processing ideas and reasoning in a sort of semitangible way in a place entirely inside my mind.
People sometimes ask me who I am talking to…and a lot of the time it’s myself. They seemed puzzled by this and I always question them if they are alone do they never speak. I’ve found for some people that answer is a “yes”, which I find to be odd.
