Why do we sound different?

Question

Why do we sound different on the phone?

Answer 1

I'm confused, what type of difference you meant: between "our voice in reality" & "telephonic voice"? Or "we all are different on the phones"?

I never experienced such! When my mom talks, I can recognise her from the tone of her voice & so on with others.

If you did mean the mechanical (telephonic) something, then it's the Machine-----how could a tiny speaker reproduce the exact live-voice?

    

Answer 2

This is a biological technic to differentiate ,inborn . Study the sketch work of our Vocal system.  

Answer 3

our vocal  cords  are  made  diffrent..  just like  ears  noses  etc..

Answer 4

When voices are transmitted by phone only the middle frequencies are transmitted.  The top and bottom frequencies are filtered out.  This is done to reduce the cost of transmission.

Answer 5

I dunno, but I just got 2 pts!

lmao. It has to do with the phone receivers, the sound changes as its transmitted over the phone lines. I believe. Have you ever tied two cups to a string and talked through them? sounds different then too right? It's all about the device used to receive and transmit the sound.

Answer 6

That little speaker on the top of your phone can't reproduce the exact same frequencies and tones like our own vocal chords can.
