This sound recording was taken in the architecture studio in the CFA building.


The differences between the recording and reality mostly have to do with the fact that in the recording picks up sounds that I don't usually notice in my everyday perception. Things like my hand shifting on the keyboard, clicking and moving my feet were all easy to pick up when listening to the recording but I wouldn't catch them in reality. Another thing was the way my voice sounded when I spoke. I noticed my voice was different and my accent was more noticeable. Interestingly, my friend's voice sounded the same as it sounds in real life.

I agree with Kristen that you're voice definitely sounds different to yourself in person than it does in a recording. The way you perceive your own voice has a lot to do with the way your head transfers sound.

I also agree that the recorder picks up more background noise than we usually notice, because our brains ignore it to focus on more important things. Most of the people doing this journal realized that after listening to their recordings later.

I think it would be interesting to place recorders at different locations in the studio (including close to where your head usually is) to see if what the recorders pick up is more similar/more different than what you are used to hearing on a regular basis in that space.
