Just that... what are your voices (or auditory hallucinations/illusions) like?

For me they mainly are located inside my head. It sounds like overhearing someone's conversation, though sometimes louder phrases get through. I also hear voices in white noise-like sounds. More rarely I hear sounds outside my head that aren't there.

Mine are all external. I do not hear them inside my head.

The last *voices* I had were the ones that kept telling me to hurt myself. I was manic and very confused. Not depressed one bit.

Before that, the voices I had were 7 or 8 months ago (or possibly even longer ago... I don't remember exactly). It was some lady talking to another guy and they were making fun of me. The lady was talking into my left ear, and the guy, my right ear. The guy kept saying that I was stupid and "didn't know up from down". Then the lady was laughing and she said, "again, again! I like those jokes!" Then the guy proceeded to tell me that I was stupid, and the lady was laughing.

But besides that, just random noises like iPhone ringing or random beeps (morse code?)

I hear external voices like other people are in the room. Also I hear voices in my head telling me what to do.

When I'm VERY unwell I hear low murmurs. I can't hear what they are saying. I also hear my name being called and music playing.

random noises/music. When my head is "loud" it's like if you walked into a room and everyone is talking loud and I can't understand what they're saying.

I have them most of the time , Its mainly hearing like a very quiet bunch of people behind me , When they start getting loud and I can "hear" what they are saying ( telling me to self harm or exit life) I have to really pay attention about how I am doing.

I am very lucky actually, I have great self awareness, Typically

For me it's music that's outside my head, and overhearing conversations inside my head. I know when I was a young child I heard voices outside my head, but I haven't experienced that as an adult.

I hear a deep, demonic voice with growling and a high-pitched witchy sort of voice with cackling. Creepy to say the least. My mind feels like a horror movie.

I usually hear them in my head, sometimes faint, sometimes very loud. Once in a great while they're external. They usually say nice things like "I love you!" or "Breathe" or "I'm here with you."

I usually hear voices in side my head telling me to harm myself or sometimes it can be random stuff that doesn't make sense. I occasionally here them outside my head which is usually calling my name but the other week they told me to tell the staff that I was going to buy some pills! ( I was in a crisis house)

Inside my head; they're people who talk, yell or cry. They'll talk to me and/or each other. I have a bad one, the others are good and/or just there.

External hallucination; it's like they're talking through a funnel, in another room, banging on something, walking around, screaming and/or laughing manically. Sometimes I hear music or a sports channel.

That reminds me:. I heard a radio station once (talking), a few times music playing outside my head and sometimes staticky voices inside the TV. Once the TV receiver spoke to me and commanded me to do all sorts of things which of course I didn't.
