Your voice sounds different from what you hear because people perceive sound in two ways: through vibrating sound waves hitting the eardrum and through vibrations inside the skull.

The claim about voice perception differences, specifically why one's voice sounds different to themselves than to others, is widely supported. Web evidence highlights the role of bone conduction and air conduction in voice perception. Your own voice is partly heard through vibrations inside the skull (bone conduction), which differs from how others hear it (air conduction). This dual mechanism can make one’s voice sound unfamiliar or unnatural when heard via recordings, as recordings capture only air conduction. The evidence adequately supports these claims, with sources confirming the mechanisms of sound perception and bone conduction, contributing to the understanding of this phenomenon. Both claims related to hearing one's own voice through skull vibrations and different voice perception are supported by medium to high reliability sources, ensuring factual accuracy in these scientific assertions.
