That's very interesting!I did read that one of the ways to speed up your reading is to learn how to stop subvocalizing, so it makes sense that you don't hear the voice when you're going fast.
I can't imagine not having a voice in my head. My voice never shuts up and if i am not doing at least two things at once, it will drive me insane. My mum says she doesn't have that voice and it's just mind-boggling to me that you could sit and not have your brain running full tilt at every minute of the day. I suspect I'm neurodivergent in some way and I read that with females, hyperactivity tends to manifest as racing thoughts rather than physical movement, so perhaps that's something to do with it.
