Thinking: try to see what happens when you turn it off.
this supports my anecdotal experiences. the volume of internal self-chatter is cranked up way higher in both amplitude and neuroticism when in a noisy urban setting. chatter doesn't cease in more serene settings but it's quieter and less neurotic.

My internal chatter stops nearly 100% if I'm away from people. Literally 100% if I have no impending tasks. Around people/at work, it's constant.
