The perception of our own voice can be different when we hear it recorded compared to how we hear it in our heads. When we speak, we not only hear the sound vibrations through our ears but also through vibrations conducted by the bones in our skull. This dual pathway creates a fuller, deeper, and richer sound perception of our own voice.
However, when we listen to a recording of our voice, we are only hearing the sound vibrations through our ears, without the additional bone-conducted vibrations. This discrepancy can lead to a perception that our recorded voice sounds different or unfamiliar, which can sometimes be interpreted as annoying or unpleasant.
It's worth noting that our perception of our own voice is subjective, and others may have a different perspective. Factors such as the recording quality, microphone characteristics, and acoustics of the environment can also impact how your voice is captured and played back in a recording.
Remember that everyone's voice is unique, and what may sound annoying to you might not be perceived that way by others. If you have concerns about your voice, it can be helpful to seek feedback from trusted individuals or professionals who can provide objective opinions and guidance.
