When you think, do you hear it as a spoken voice inside your head, or is it silent?

Spoken voice, 95% of the time. I think.

no, but maybe my thinking speed slows down sometimes to match my speaking speed, like I want it to be more voice like

Same exact thing as you. I can't tell you how the "voice" sounds, but when I pay attention to it, it slows down. I "hear it" when I'm typing or reading too.. But is it really hearing lol? I don't know what the "voice" sounds like, I just "know it's there".
It's also how I plan things.. Like when I'm planning something, I'll see multiple outcomes or possibilities in my head although I'm not actually seeing them, I'm seeing what my eyes see, and think or "talk it over" in my head, as to which possibility or outcome would be the best for me.. I do this when painting or drawing, or designing.
Edit: I saw a video about this, except the video was the other way around, and it shocked me that people don't actually "see" or "think" like that in their head..
I can't find the exact video, but here's one that's similar,
Found the video: "Q&A with a person who does not have an internal monologue": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u69YSh-cFXY

For me the same, I hear a voice that is familiar but it does not have a specific sound to it as you would have with other people. But if I want to, I can imitate voices of myself and other persons in my head, but it is hard.
