![]() For instance, Cohen said, people who listen to themselves speaking into a microphone where the pitch has been altered will subconsciously change the way they talk, to counteract the adjustments. ![]() Research suggests that people make real-time modifications to preserve the integrity of their voices. For this reason, you may find that a recording of your voice sounds much higher to you than what you're used to hearing when you speak.īut why does hearing yourself speak at a higher pitch illicit such a strong, and often negative, reaction? Because ultimately, people think they know what their own voices are supposed to sound like, Cohen said. This ends up muddling the sound, causing you to incorrectly perceive your voice as having a lower pitch. Your ossicles vibrate a little bit whenever you encounter an acoustic stimulus, but your own voice will always sound loud (because of how close your mouth is to your ears), so the ossicles vibrate more when you talk.
