I find it makes you happy and people who habitually sing to themselves, in the shower or in public, tend to be a bit more joyful and light-hearted about things. It's not a hard and fast rule, of course, but I find it the case. Imo it really does make you forget your troubles for awhile and releases endorphins.

Is it an indicator of personality at all iyo?

The really serious/people with no sense of humour I know rarely sing to themselves.

"The voices in my head... SING!"

I'm one of the singers. Huge music fan. I am a believer that music lifts your spirits. It helped me through tough times.

I think 80% of people who sing to themselves are joyful and light-hearted people. The other 20% are just plain crazy.

I would sing directly to them (and point) just to embarrass them!
