Hearing them tick/beep/swoosh, or hearing them counted/read?

Replying to

It's awkward since I'm used to counting when listing sequentially like that but possible.

what does hearing mean? I inherently read words to myself in me head and I do this with the numbers. I don't hear beeping or ticking. And I don't hear them aloud in a normal sense.

If I "draw" them like I would on paper it's easy to do it silently but if i just make them pop in I can only do it by substituting the sound (tried for ten seconds)

This reminds me of the time (very young) my thoughts were NEVER organised as sentences/words. Facing a lack of verbal skills, I started formulating my thoughts with words to exercise. Now I mostly hear what I think which I kinda dislike. Anyone else experienced anything similar?
