If you are not actually listening to music, how long before you automatically starting replaying a music in your head; whether just a beat or silently repeating certain parts of songs in your head.

This should also include beats that you make up on the spot from the environment. Foe example, if I'm working near a loud machine, even the washing machine, and there is no music around, I'll some how manage to find a beat or rhythm to the noise of the machine which will stick until something better comes a long. This most often happens when I am either bored or nervous.

I do that with washing machines too.

I'll go through days without listening to anything and my mind will become quiet. Right now though I have a Beatles song playing in there. I've been digitizing tapes for my folks and I think the Beatles were playing when I fell asleep last night.
