Why Does Your Own Voice Sound Different to You?

💡 The Answer

• Most people dislike the sound of their recorded voice because it lacks a familiar deepness.
• When you speak, the bones in your head vibrate and conduct sound directly to your inner ear.
• This bone conduction adds a low-frequency bass tone that only you can hear while talking.
• Recordings only capture the air-conducted sound, which is what everyone else actually hears.
