That must be so peaceful, I'm insanely jealous.

    I'm not OP, but I also don't have an internal monologue (and I don't dream, but I can construct images in my head "on demand"). I was in my late 20s before I realized that an internal monologue was not a literary device used by authors when telling a story - and people have an internal voice.

    Think of it this way: unless something is causing sound externally there is absolute silence. It's peaceful sure, but your aware of all the little noises of things around you. One thing that can be hellish is getting a song stuck in your head ( I know several 3/4 and 5/4 melodies for just this reason).

    I never thought about it, but I'd assume that if you had no internal monologue that you also wouldn't be able to hear music in your head, either.

    Brains are so weird.

    I have aphantasia, but I assume that's more common than no internal monologue. I wish there were stats on this.
