Does Your Voice Sounds Differently When Listening To Recording??steemCreated with Sketch.

Is there anything worse than listening to your own voice on tape? "Is that really what I sound like?" asks everyone who has heard himself, ever. Unfortunately, the answer is yes. When you listen to a recording of your voice, that voice is unaffected by what's called bone conduction. When you speak, you hear your own voice through "vibrations inside your skull set off by your vocal chords," according to the BBC. "Those vibrations travel up through your bony skull and again set the ear drum vibrating. However as they travel through the bone they spread out and lower in pitch, giving you a false sense of bass. Then when you hear a recording of your voice, it sounds distinctly higher." When you hear a recording, you hear what everyone else hears—and for most people, that's not pleasant.
