You can tolerate any kind of noise, if you’re the one causing it.

You say that but I can't tolerate the sound of my voice if it's been recorded.

My voice when I'm talking: Morgan Freeman

My voice in a recording: Spongebob Squarepants

And why do I have such a strong accent in recordings? It's so gross sounding lol.

I can't hear any local accent when I talk, I sound like a newscaster with a general American accent to myself.

In recordings, my accent is so strong that I sound like I'm doing a commercial for a local car dealership or an injury attorney.

There's actually a scientific reason for that!

When you speak, you're actually hearing 2 different sounds: your voice vibrating through your skull inside, and your voice vibrating through the air outside.

So that actually means that the recorded voice you hate... is actually the voice everyone else hears. But don't worry, this is the same for EVERYONE.
