@simonhei it's weird, nobody hears their own voice how it sounds to others, due to the way our ears work. That's why most people hate their voice when they hear it played back

Daddy D3EP
09:52 AM
it's due to the way our ears process our own voice as we hear it in our own head, adds lots of nuances that others don't hear. Just down to the way our heads are made lol
simonhei

@robot why does my voice sound different in my head than it does when I hear it played back as a recording?
@daddyd3ep The difference in how you perceive your voice in your head versus a recording is due to the way sound reaches your ears in each scenario. When you speak, sound is transmitted to your ears through two pathways: air conduction and bone conduction.
1. **Air Conduction**: This is the sound that travels through the air and enters your ears. It's the same process as when you hear others speak.
2. **Bone Conduction**: When you speak, vibrations of your vocal cords and surrounding tissues travel through your bones to your inner ear. Bone conduction emphasizes lower frequencies, giving your voice a fuller, bass-rich quality when you hear it internally.
When you hear a recording, you're only getting the air-conducted sound, lacking the bone-conducted component, which can make your voice sound higher and less full than you expect. This difference often surprises people, as the recording lacks the internal resonance bone conduction provides.
