Isn’t everyone a bit surprised when they first find that out?

They might not have, since they were the first people to record voice they might have thought they needed to improve the audio equipment.

I think he means that the first time in history that someone recorded voices and played them back, nobody would have ever heard themselves speaking from a recording before that, so they wouldn't have expected it and may have been very confused about what was going on.

But it would literally just take two people to figure it out. Because your recorded voice still sounds the same as your regular voice to everyone else. It only sounds weird to you.

So like I said everyone is confused when they first hear their voice before learning that it sounds off. And it’s a pretty simple explanation as to why that is. I’m sure the inventor of a recording device would be smart enough to figure that out.

They probably just thought: "it's a prototype, just needs some correction"

You hear your own voice from inside your head conducted through your bones so it sounds different to you than it does to everyone else. When you hear a recording it sounds the way everyone else hears it.

The people upvoting this sh*te and downvoting the reply need to loosen their egos. The point is that most people have never heard of the phenomenon before they make a recording of themselves and then they discover it. Everyone's confused when they first hear a recording of themselves.
