I think you're just emphasizing that you're a language thinker and can't imagine the other side... I can "sound out something" in my head but 1) that's a conscious effort that never happens out of the blue 2) I don't use/need it for things like emotional reactions, understanding the world, thinking what I should say next, or so on. It's a tool I only use if I'm for example having trouble coming up with e.g. prose that rhymes, or solving crossword or Wordle puzzles -- language problems!
