Sound is interesting, what you may think is the sound of someone's voice is merely an illusion. When you hear a voice for example, waves and vibrations travel in the air and are received by the ear, these are then transmitted electrically to the brain, the brain then processes the information and displays its interpretation of it so you can understand. So what do we really sound like beyond our interpretation?, because what we think certain humans sound like is merely our human interpretation of the waves and vibrations. When a dog makes a sound we call it a bark because as humans that's what we interpret that sound to be, another dog however may hear something different as they can process other frequencies and nobody can replicate the inner brain interpretation of another species. So why do we hate the sound of our own voice on tape, and why do some people say that it doesn't even sound like them, even when a friend listening to the same recording will say it does? Well it goes back to the interpretation of sound. When we talk we hear our own voice much like the person you are talking to, however our inner ear picks up other signals from our throat, jaw and other inner functions of our bodies, also when we "think" to ourselves we have the same sounding 'inner voice' as our interpretation of it and it probably gets a make-over in our minds, so this produces a unique "sound" for us individually as we are receiving many separate inputs at once, the person you are talking to only receives one. So that's why we hate it, it doesn't sound the way we hear it.....or should I say the way our brain tells us it sounds.
