I would not worry too much about this.  It sounds like an impulse control thing.  I have a son with vocal tics which can be simple or complex.  Simple are sounds and complex are words.  but they aren't really sporadic or whole sentences.  It doesn't sound like a neurological issue or anxiety issue.  Just your brain's way of trying to stay alert.  And it sounds like it is in private so I personally would not worry about it.  good luck
