Do you ever sing or hum to yourself when no one's around?

B Natural answer

Yes, sometimes. If I'm alone in my room, I might hum the melody of a song I just heard. I do it most when I'm relaxed or doing boring tasks. If the chorus is easy, I sometimes sing it under my breath. It is not really about performing; it is more like keeping myself company and staying in a good mood.
