Hearing / perceiving voices (in the Bible)?

Hi everyone. There are quite a few people (including me) who can perceive (sometimes helpful and benevolent) voices in their mind. Today, I was talking about this with a good friend. He dismissed this as spiritism and pathological, but I was wondering whether people in our history - and documented in the bible - were not also able to perceive voices? What’s your take on this topic? Are there occurences of that in the bible or other religious documents?
