&gt; A common explanation [...] is that [...] we receive both sound transferred to our ears externally by air conduction and sound transferred internally through our bones. [...] So when you hear your recorded voice without these frequencies, it sounds higher<p>Actually the first time I heard my recorded voice, I was surprised by how low it was. So I agree with the article that there is more to the story.

You may also hate a recording of yourself playing a musical instrument. Even some electronic one where absolutely the same speakers are used for the playback, and the material is sample-for-sample identical to the earlier live version.
