Inner voice as Infrasound?

Hi there,
If you use your voicebox during inner speech, does that mean inner speech can be considered infrasound?

Infrasound is defined as sound which is too low in frequency to be audible.
- If your inner voice were infrasound, you wouldn't be able to hear your inner voice.
- Since human hearing is matched fairly well to the capabilities of the human voicebox, that also means that your voicebox cannot produce infrasound efficiently
More subtly, the information-carrying capacity of infrasound is lower than that of the main speech frequencies (300Hz - 3kHz).
- If you relied on infrasound for your thoughts, you would be thinking very slowly...
