What weird sound effects do you like to make when nobody else is around?
I like to make those cartoony "bllleeeaaaggghh" noises that people in dumb old TV shows used to make when they died. Not like a scream-dying sound, but halfway to a barfing sound.
Also, when nobody's around, I like to say the word "fart." Not make fart noises. I'll walk around the house saying "fart fart fart fart fart."

Sometimes I make a raspberry "pllblblblbllb" sound
I sometimes say "whoopsie daisy" when I knock something over, and hope I remember to not say it in public.
Narrator's voice: she forgot one time and said it in public....and yes, someone noticed.

Generalized formless beatboxing, with tummy slaps as percussion.

I’ll make little noises like “bap!” or “ay!” if I’m doing something like skipping over steps on a long stairway or jumping off an unusually high curb or some kind of similar stepping-over-some-obstacle.

I’ve never read the popular comic “Cathy”, but I think “Ack!” is good.

Now I'm picturing all of you as Don Martin characters (not that I wasn't already).  |

I just hum a lot to myself, or say "do de do de doo" as I'm doing something mundane.

I live alone, save for the cat, so I make all manner of vocalizations, but my mainstays are of the baaargh/braaargh variety--like an annoyed walrus, except even sexier

My yawns are accompanied by a typical yawning-moan sound, which I always end up turning into the actual word "yawn".
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHyawn."

I bark and growl. I try not to do those in public too much.
Also my yawns are nearly always mixed with an "aiya", because the world.

Sometimes when I'm waking up and stretching out, I find myself making like a "gyaaauuuh" noise from the back of my throat. I think that's my noise.

I might have told y’all this already- I used to hum this little four-note tune to myself, and it was familiar, but I could never quite place it. Out of the blue one day, I realized it was the mouse droid song.
Also my one cat has a slightly obnoxious meow when she’s hungry, and for some reason it makes me think of electric guitars, so I meow it back to her as a guitar riff, like how they make it reverb with the little …uh….lever thing look I don’t play guitar ok.
Otherwise I make all kinds of weird noises; the joys of living alone!

I have always talked out loud to myself. Symptom of being an only child until high school, I guess. But once I started going into lab again in September 2020, I found myself alone on a regular basis for the first time since grad school before Wifemate moved in, and then that lasted for at least a year and a half. I really got in the habit of talking to myself out loud again, and I'm trying to curb it now that people are around more often.

I like it, I find it a helpful way to process information (and it helps with my discalcula, where it's very much a coping mechanism) and it just amuses me. I do my best not to do it around other people but I'd be lying if I said i always achieve that. |

There's this thing the internet discovered (people on social media) -- that there are people who think internally and people who do not. As a person who thinks internally, I cannot describe what external thinkers do, other than saying their thoughts out loud. When I read anything, I hear a voice - usually mine, but sometimes I have a more southern accent. Also, when I read a book, I will start to picture what I am reading, as though I am directing a movie for the story. Just curious. |

I don't think I usually hear a voice when reading.
Sometimes I will think something, and then a moment later I will say it out loud, even if no one is around. Especially if someone is an asshole in traffic. I have no idea why.

I pretty much always hear myself narrating the book, or saying the things I'm typing / writing. Occasionally I'll hear things in another person's voice, but only if I've been spending a lot of time with them, or mentally rehearsing conversations I'd have with them. I'm rarely without the dogs or other pets around, so usually I talk with them. I can usually get Cecilia to howl like a wolf, which is fun. For us, at least. |

I don't think I either see or hear what I'm reading most of the time. I did notice a couple of times when I was reading a particularly on-target Doctor Who story that I would hear it in the character's voice. I've seen a bit fairly recently about internal monologues and I just can't even imagine having nothing going on in your head when you're not talking about loud. |

I'm a very verbal thinker and have a more or less constant internal monologue, but there isn't really any aural content to my inner voice. I don't "hear" anything.

I pretty much always have an internal monologue going, and when I read, I usually hear it as voices. Sometimes as my voice, sometimes some actor's voice, sometimes just a voice I make up to fit the character. There is often a radio play going on in my head when I read.
Something I have noticed is that if an author describes a character or place, I don't get usually get a clear picture of it or them in my head unless I am already familiar with who or what they are describing. When I try to remember someone's face, I have noticed that I am often picturing an actual photograph I have seen of them. I recognize people and things easily enough, but can't draw or paint them worth a crap. I don't think that is the way most people operate. I don't know if I was just born this way or if it's the result of various misadventures over the years, but I'm pretty sure my brainbox varies somewhat from the standard wiring.

I don't know if I was just born this way or if it's the result of various misadventures over the years, but I'm pretty sure my brainbox varies somewhat from the standard wiring. It's probably some sort of chicken / egg thing, but after years of 'D&D' and writing speeches, the narrative parts of stories sound like my voice (in my head) and the quote parts sound like me doing a character of some sort. Even novelizations of movies - I'm pretty sure all the Star Wars characters sounded like my friends and I playing those characters on the playground and not like the actors. I usually have a pretty good idea of what characters look like, even if it doesn't always match up with the author's description. Sometimes they look 'real', but often like a sketch with colored pencil, etc. Sometimes a lack of description is notable. In one SF series, almost all the characters are described in detail, except the main female character who is always just 'achingly beautiful', which allows the reader to use their ideal. Although she drives and is subject to a lot of the main plot, she starts things in a 'Helen of Troy' role that kicks off a war with at least one alien race. |
