Why does your own voice sound different when heard over a recording?

The recorded voice has a lower pitch compared to your natural voice and hence it sounds different.

The recorded voice has less loudness level compared to your natural voice and as a result it sounds different to your ears.

On a recorder the vibrations set up by your vocal chords in your skull are missing and you only hear the sound waves.

The recorded voice has the extra interference and noise created by electronic devices that modifies our sound and it sounds different to our ears.

Explanation:

- It’s because when you speak you hear your own voice in two different ways.
The first is through vibrating sound waves hitting your ear drum, the way other people hear your voice. The second way is through vibrations inside your skull set off by your vocal chords. 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.
