So, it is not a real sound wave or else other people would hear it too. It's just the brain is simulating electrical signals similar (but not the same) to what the ear produces and then feeding those signals back into itself. It's like a self-controlled hallucination with audio only.

I don't know if you actually talk and have discussions with your inner voice. There's nothing my inner voice knows that I don't already know so no need for discussion. I just vocalize things in your head to lay them out for you. Sort of like how I write something out when planning instead of visualizing it all in my head.

I'm not sure what the author of this post meant by self-controlled hallucination, but I think that it may have been a lot more profound then what I at first thought that it could. What - except coordination, about the human experience is not a self-controlled hallucination - even if it is to an extent a shared one? Maybe calibration too.

I do not mean spiritually....i mean is it technically a sound wave??
If yes, then how does it reach our ear??
If no, how do we hear it then??

Please do not ignore my question thinking it to be non-technical...

I'm not sure what you mean by inner voice. Some things that come to mind are trying to think of many things at once, self-reflection, and what might be very quick changes in behavior - perhaps so quick that we do not recognize them.

When designing a circuit I 'see' the current flows and voltage variations in my head so maybe sound is the same?. I teach my students to go from the basics,(nuts and bolts) to the individual reactions/actions.

Look outside the square then square it.

I don't remember if it was at this thread, but I've heard the term feedback loop used before. I haven't been following tech_vaibhav_eee’s posts closely enough to know what was meant by inner voice. However, I imagine that thoughts that are recognized to be in human language might be consciously or unconsciously controlled internally as well as uncontrolled by external sources such as people or electronic devices. If internal communication – and what I mean by internal communication is the language that person expresses to themselves while they are or aren’t also directly expressing the same information to others, is involved in a feedback loop, then this feedback loop might be associated with other internal and external stimuli – such as visual perceptions of schematics, pc boards, other people talking, and maybe other internal stimuli such as hunger. One thing that I wonder about is how to measure how controlled the linguistic self-expression is. When is it practical for others to understand or even when it is practical for one to understand their own mental creations? I suppose everything can be practical given the right situation and amount – whether practical means self-awareness, a new way of conceiving of oneself in an environment, or just a confirmation that that the world is familiar. Maybe I shouldn’t be thinking about it practically.
