Recording from 1860. Sound restoration. 

Here’s a little fact for those who didn’t know: This video was released in 2011 before we found out who was really singing this. In it, we remove noise trying to depict the voice of this “woman”. When we finally translated the frequency of the noise to the original voice when it was originally recorded, we decoded it into a voice of a man, most likely Leon Scott himself.

This is lowkey scary asf but the person that created this was a genius and created something amazing

Only 1860's kids Will remember

My mic at zoom class:

bruh this guy is dead and sounds better than me

Pov: the kid with really bad internet joins and his internet slowly comes back up

This was recorded when: Nikola Tesla: 4 years old Vincent Van Gogh: 7 years old Thomas Edison: 13 years old Alfred Nobel: 27 years old Abraham Lincoln: 51 years old Napoleon III : 52 years old Pope pius IX: 68 years old

Even though this sounds creepy it is still extremely fascinating that we can hear audio from the freaking 1860s

You're hearing the voice of someone from over 150 years ago. Just amazing

Xbox kids on the mic

All fun and games until you hear this in the middle of a forest late at night

imagine you wake up in the middle of the night to here that

No one: My little cousins when they talk to me on the phone:

Only 1860s kids will remember

Me: **plays with random people online** Their microphones:

I listen in 2021.160 years have passed, can you imagine?

Sounds like that one annoying mosquito that buzzes by your ear at night

Imagine... This is the only thing remaining of that person, and he has to go down in history as a creepy recording.

the teacher on the zoom call asking if we can hear them ok

Damn i didnt know we were mosquitos back then

Nobody: nothing Ghasts when there floating around in the nether:

this how kids on xbox still sound to this day

yes I am here from muta, only because it reminded me that this existed

Finally a rapper who doesn't mumble

People in 1860 be like: " I say! This is Crystal clear it sounds like he's directly in the room"

I waited 160 years for this

Hearing from the ghosts from the past.

170 years ago. It’s hard to fathom

The mosquito in my room at night

Before video: "Oh wow the oldest recorded sound must have pretty bad quality. But it's probably pretty easy to understand it" After video: *Crying rocking in the corner of the room"

It sounds creepier with each restoration lol

Think of it like this, what you’re hearing is someone singing to you from over 150 years ago... you’re hearing the voice of someone who lived during Abraham Lincoln

Earliest rendition of Darude - Sandstorm

do i understand this? nope, do i love it? yes, am i gonna have nightmares because of this? also yes

No autotune 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Imagine sleeping in the dark and you hear this coming from you bathroom or hallway

it sounds like a cat singing arabic beautifully

I don’t know why I looked into this tonight, but I immediately regret it. Mostly because it’s 1:45am.

Why is everyone here so recent like this was nine years ago 😱

4 year old me singing on my Fisher Price recorder

It sounds scary, but keep in mind somebody in a normal voice actually sang into this machine and it came out like this. Good job. The microphone

How is this scary? This is fascinating; I watched this years ago, and it’s good to be back!

I like how so many people watching this in like 2 hours ago

Mero ohne autotune

This song was #1 for fifty two weeks in a row on the Billboard Music chart of 1860.

Who still jammin in 2021?

that one dude who's eating the mic

It's like you're literally listening to a ghost.

First one sounds like when you drop your phone and it's recording

0:40-0:48 it is actually very pretty

"Au clair de la lune. Mon ami Pierrot. Prête..."

I am here after watch first recorded computer in the world that can singing. now I go here to hear what it sound like, the first human recorded voice. and I completely unexpected this.

Only 1860s kids will remember this one.

0:32 cat singing

This one really hit me for some reason. There's something about knowing this person is gone, and their voice has become a ghost-like relic of a time long ago that makes it sad, and therefore uncomfortable. I can see why others call it scary, even if they didn't know why at first. It makes me weirded out that Boomers - Gen Alpha have been the only real generations in history to experience high quality recording, processing and storage to make our lives last forever. So many great people and their experiences pre-1920 have been lost to time. It's bittersweet, but also at the same time makes me appreciate my own place in time more. And I'm sure the people of the 1800s did too, just in a different way. We'll never know (at least from a non-textual standpoint), maybe that makes their lives special, it's what makes this special.

This was recorded right before the Civil War. Let that sink in.

Wenn man sein ps4 Headset nach 3 Jahren wieder benutzt

This is 162 years old 😮

this sounds like 8 year old me trying to record ''Au clair de la lune'' on my DSi

Still better than despacito

Still listening in 2020! Yeah baby!

Its creepy that the comments were just like hours ago

so i’m not going to bed

When your younger sibling finds out that you can record your voice on your phone

better than today's music

This is the most beautiful audio I ever heard💖

I couldn't sleep because of this

Me singing under the shower

That one kid uses free microphone from wish :

No one: That one kid with the bad mic in ur zoom classes:

That is actually terrifying but amazing to be able to hear these all these years later

I regret watching this in the dark at 3 am

Only 1860s kids will remember this

Sounds like an auto tuned cat meow

ok I came here because I was curious now i'll have nightmares for life

he was probably so excited to actually get a sound!! I'm so proud of him. He did great for his time

A song by Puking Cat Lyrics: AAAAaaaaAAAAaa Only 1880 kids will remember

this is literally the same mics used in fast food drive thrus

You youngins wouldn’t understand this was the bts of our day

So that’s how the Enderman Sounds was made

Imagine, everyone alive during this sound recording is long dead.

Guys, what did you expect? It has been recorded in 1860, I'm surprised how this got saved after so many years!

I faced my fears by listen to this again after 11 years

Imagine how crazy it would be, having your voice heard back to you for the first time ever

No one People in 1860 be jamming:

It's kinda weird listening to this, this is the voice of someone who has died almost 2 centuries ago, and this haunting voice is the only thing now left of them, it's kinda freaky

Upvote if you're listening in 1874.

this is as fascinating as it is terrifying

This recording is truly from a completely different era, they were just barely into the modern era. Creepy and fascinating. Especially considering that there's no one alive that was from that time.

The mosquito in room at night be like:

The mosquitos in my room:

Only 1860s kids will remember this banger

Creepypastapunch army wo seid ihr?

POV: your little cousin calls you after his bed time so he eats his mic

It sounds like a girl, but it’s apparently the voice of Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville, who recorded it. The recording’s pitch is just very off.

Oh...... They're singing Au claire de la lune...

We found out that this is suppose to be played at half the speed and is the inventor himself singing it.

Yes i'm not going to sleep.

I use to believe that this was the first ever voice recording of a spirit because it sounded terrifying if you play it in the dark, but in a way it’s good to know that the inventor is still being acknowledged in the future

Nobody: Mics on gmod vouce chat:
