Do You Recognize Voices By The Sound Of The Voice?

There are 2 things that are common in AVH/VH (hearing voices), that are included in the leading phenomenological research. I believe that most maybe all people who live with the experience of hearing voices not only use the same factors in identifying voices, and knowing their personalities. These two things are:
1) the sound (sonic / audio) characteristics, the tone, of each voice
2) the changing location that the voice occupies in 3D Cartesian space - the spatial location and orientation.

Do you agree that the second one (2), the spatial orientation, can change while hearing the voice, and this can be very disconcerting. However, the first one (1) seems reliable, and voices can not and do not change their 'sound'.

There are other factors that I believe subjects rely on, like the gender of the voice, and the intonation and inflexion etc. But do you agree that it is always important to think you know the 'person' who owns that particular voice, because some are hateful, whilst some are more friendly?

I am also very interested to hear how many voices you have in your hallucinations? Do they have names that they told you, or have you named them yourself?

I can usually tell if a mans voice is in my head or a womans although I cant sometimes tell who the person is. It also seems to be a person in authority to me like im under their care. I also have a constant ringing in my ears. I can tell who a person's voice sounds like to me in real life because Ive found I can tell friends and families alike and other voices, they sound just like the people Im describing. An example is that my piano teacher and a nurse in the hospital both have the same sounding voice to me when they talk in person too. It is kind of like trying to tell a person or people who are singing a song on the radio that do sound alike in real person too. i do hear alot of people in my head all day long.

Not schizophrenic (not that I know of, anyway) but I've lately heard a voice or two, always from the left ear. Not recognizable, if I recall the last one was a man's voice. But then, my place of work is noisy and perhaps it's just my brain interpreting sounds wrong. On occasion over the years, I'll hear my name, and no one is there.

I also frequently hear the intercom whistle from Star Trek: The Original Series while at work, and while I know I must be hearing a machine that must merely be making a similar noise and my brain is interpreting it incorrectly, it catches my attention every time, because it sounds as plain as day, and I can never find the source, just a general direction. A bit annoying.

The mind can really do a number on a person. I once experienced Exploding Head Syndrome. It presented itself in the typical fashion (I was falling asleep at the computer while on this website, actually), but damn! it was LOUD. And seemed so real. And seemed off to one side of me, my right side. I honestly wondered if something had exploded, it sounded just like a pistol shot in very close proximity to my head and I searched for the source. Nope, all in my head. Took a while to convince myself of that, however. Very unpleasant and unnerving.
