According to a new study by Albright University in the US, people appreciate their voice unconsciously, as a form of self-improvement.
The study was conducted with 80 men and women, who were asked to assess the attractiveness of the voices in many recordings, a scale of 0 to 10. Scientists secretly added to the recording. The voice of the participants, and they completely do not know this.

As a result, participants rated their voices more attractive than others who rated their voices. In addition, participants appreciated their voices more than the voices of others, Science Daily said.
Scientists believe that the reason people like their own voices can be attributed to the tendency to be familiar with, or as a mechanism to protect depression.
"People tend to raise awareness of their values. Usually people will think they are more attractive or have better qualities than they actually have. This is a mechanism to build self-esteem to against depression , Susan Hughes, professor of psychology said.
Hughes was surprised at the results, because many people said they did not like the sound in their voices when recorded through recording devices. There is a biological difference in how we hear our voice sounds compared to listening to a recording.
"People are often upset when they hear their voice from the recorder , " Hughes said.
