I suspect that I subvocalise only when I'm paying attention to my own thoughts. So it seems like I always subvocalise, just like it seems that the light in the fridge is always on.
Upon trying to observe myself vocalizing, that is how it seems to work. It feels a bit like the sentence "expands" into speech when I pay attention to it. Also, I always seem to vocalize when writing.
Same here, with writing: it generally feels like transcribing an internal monologue.
