When its very quiet, and i listen carefully, i can "hear" my brain working
When its very quiet, and i listen carefully, i can move my eyes or think something i hear my brain processing?
Its like a fluidic electronic garble, not a voice, but rather like a modem, except not computerish. I can hear what I THINK is the thought traveling across the neurons? That is about the best way to describe it. No one else Ive told this too has heard this in themselves. Am I correct? I mean, I think a thought to move my eyes, and I can hear the thought as I move my eyes, instantly. But again its not a voice. It seems very electrical.
Im not high, and this is for real. I want to know if there is a name for this or if anyone else hears the same thing.

Hello, I also have this ability and I have never came across anyone who will believe me or that doesn't suggest that it is some sort of hearing issue. This phenomenon has happened to me as long as I can remember, it happens especially when I am very excited and I close my eyes or when I have a very stimulating thought. I have researched hearing neurons fire, tinnitus, etc, but nothing fits as I know it is not a problem and instead it is somehow an ability. I am beginning to be able to focus on the noise I am hearing and amplify it. It is more than a noise too as I can also feel it but it is exactly how you have described, like movement of water but its somehow electrical and is like a wooshing.
Since the world is merely vibrations, and the brain is just a frequency interpreter, I believe somehow we are tapping into an ancient ability that extends beyond human comprehension at this time. It would be interesting to study if more people experience this, but are too afraid to mention it, or are just unaware that it is even happening to them.
Does it happen to you with your eyes open? I must close mine to hear the sensation. Also when I swallow I can intensify the feeling, is this the case for you as well?

Nope. You are experiencing 'confirmation bias'. It happens when you get an compelling idea (like "Maybe I can hear my thoughts") and then you interpret events ("I heard something!") to fit your idea ("That thing I heard must have been my neurons firing!")
You can't hear neurons 'firing'. There is no noise. The voltage is extremely low, and extremely fast. It's too a small an electrical (and, more often, chemical) signal to make a noise that is detectable to the human ear.
There are certainly things you could be hearing. There are a lot of moving parts in your head, many of them you can hear/feel the vibrations of in ways that are similar to 'hearing'. Like your jaw and eyes muscles moving, liquid in your ears and sinuses or even blood moving through certain areas.
But you can't 'hear' your neurons firing. You really can't. They are far, far, far, far too small of a reaction to be audible, and most reactions going on in your brain simply wouldn't produce ANY sound at all - audible to the human ear or not.
The final possible explanation, and one of the most likely, is that you are having a hearing issue. You really should see a doctor to have your ears checked. Hearing chimes or tones can be a early sign of hearing loss (an problem called tinnitus for example). If your insurance covers it, it's probably worth getting your ears tested.
