I don't know the answer to that one, unfortunately. I have heard the Holy Spirit many times before, but never an audible voice, and most often no voice at all.
What is your reason for wanting to hear God? So that you can say you heard Him, so that you can have the experience of having heard Him, so that you know that you are spiritual enough to hear Him, or because you want to know what He wants from you at the present moment, so that you can do it? He will only speak to those who have that last one as their motive, even though He may tell you more than is strictly necessary for that, as a loving Father.
The purpose of God's communication is to show us where to go and what to do and when and how, that we might fulfill His whole plan for our lives in obedience, following His leading constantly like a sheep follows the shepherd. Jesus clearly spelled out the purpose of the HOly Spirit (my notes in brackets): "He, when He comes will convict the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment. concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me [when we do not believe His teachings in His Word, He speaks through our consciences, to personally convict us of sin], and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you no longer behold Me [when He was on earth, He told His disciples in person what was the right thing for them to do each step of the waynow that He is in heaven, we no longer have Him with us to direct us, so the Holy Spirit does instead], and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has already been judged." (John 16:8-11)
The Quakers have been known by many to be a Spirit-filled people (in generalthe many of the orthodox ones I mean), coming to people's aid (like on the frontier) when there was no way they could have known or have been there at the right time with the right supplies, without the Spirit's leading. They listen during meetings and prayer times, spending time in silent seeking, instead of talking at God nonstop during prayer. They recognize that prayer is two-way communication.
But most of all, when they are trying to make a decision, even the tiniest daily decision, they test it, or "hold it in the Light", to see if it is God's will or not. First the plan must be totally given up, so that there are absolutely no personally motives one way or anotherGod being witness. Then if for example it was a yes or no decision as to what I should do, I would ask Him what if I decided yes, and think as if I had decided yes. "Would you be pleased Lord?" Then if He is pleased there will be a wonderful feeling of peace on that decision.
If He is not pleased, there will be a feeling of irritation or anxiety, that does NOT come from your own rationale or your own motives. (That last thing is important, and it takes a lot of time and prayer and practice to know the difference). So you suggest "no" in the same manner. Then if there still isn't His peace on that decision, there is something that needs to be worked through with Him. Perhaps yes and no aren't the only answers. Maybe He knows of a third option that is the best one. Or maybe there is something you are still clinging to in your heart that isn't His will, or something you haven't given over to Him. Or, what you are asking HIm may be totally the wrong thing to ask about--there may be something more important that you are missing. You must not make any decision that does not have the peace of Christ on it, no matter how badly you want it. He knows what is truly best for you. I have found so many hundreds of times, that what He tells me to do in this way is right, even if I thought to begin with it was wrong or not best. "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which you were called in one body
" Colossians 3:15
And, of course, the Lord will never tell you anything that contradicts Scripture as a whole (But it is important to have a right understanding of HIs Word).
