Do you know why your recorded voice sound is different to you?

We hear sound through two pathways. 

The first is air conduction. In air conduction sound passes through the air and into the ear canal, where it vibrates the eardrum. These vibrations are transferred to a sensory organ – the cochlea – through a chain composed of three tiny bones: the malleus, incus and stapes.

Secondly we also hear through bone conduction, – at least, we hear our own voices. When we speak, vibration of the vocal cords engenders a companion vibration in the bones of the skull, stimulating the cochlea. This pathway augments the air conduction pathway.

But when we hear our own recorded voice the bone conduction pathways is eliminated and sound is different to you.
