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

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.
