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.
First
It sounds more like a teenage boy.
Great Scott! (Pun intended) I just got pinned by another channel! Nice!
can you restore otto von bismarck's voice recordings?
Can u show us the sound of the clear one?
This is lowkey scary asf but the person that created this was a genius and created something amazing
Without the invention of voice recording, then microphones and speakers wouldn't have existed.
BRUH do you dat Mike doe?!? It Valerman Shtank do nah een gon kap
Daniel Bailon don’t listen to this at night that was scary
Lol. I don't view it as scary. Maybe a bit haunting, but for the most part it makes me feel connected to the past and interests me
@Daniel Bailon lol. it's understandable
You're hearing the voice of someone from over 150 years ago. Just amazing
yup...what a time we live in
Whoever is singing it is most likely long gone dead by now

Imagine... This is the only thing remaining of that person, and he has to go down in history as a creepy recording.
Well that’s not entirely true. There are other recordings of his we can hear. Plus plenty on books and information on him -even a few photographs. His life is well documented.
Who was he?

More like the teachers mic right when they start explaining the assignment.
Even though this sounds creepy it is still extremely fascinating that we can hear audio from the freaking 1860s

I cant ignore the sadness within me listening to this knowing that a child born in that exact same moment is now decades gone, an entire set of humans with all their laughs and crys, joys and sorrows are forever gone
All fun and games until you hear this in the middle of a forest late at night
IM OUT. 🏃♀️💨

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
Wow ur right. It just got less scary

I listen in 2021.160 years have passed, can you imagine?
imagine you wake up in the middle of the night to here that
People in 1860 be like: " I say! This is Crystal clear it sounds like he's directly in the room"
it's because that's pure analog recording full spectrum of sounds. I mean, even the air in that recording feels alive.
Fun fact: the people in the 1860s could not replay the audio
Cuz their used to it
Nobody: nothing

LMFAO
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
Bro, I have the best mic in the world right now!
Bros mic:
Real
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.
very well said

I remember singing this when I was little and being so confused when I heard Clair de Lune by Debussy for the first time
I kept thinking, "when do the lyrics start?"
Singing In a Phonograph Will Give Me Embarrassment Nightmares
How is this scary? This is fascinating; I watched this years ago, and it’s good to be back!
I waited 160 years for this
Funny
Imagine sleeping in the dark and you hear this coming from you bathroom or hallway
I’m in the dark in my bedroom and I saw it and I wanted to see it. I was so scared I slept with the lights on
I don’t know why I looked into this tonight, but I immediately regret it. Mostly because it’s 1:45am.
It's not scary at all. It's beautiful and fascinating.
This is the most beautiful audio I ever heard💖

This song was #1 for fifty two weeks in a row on the Billboard Music chart of 1860.
Ahahaha😀
I had to laugh at the humor here, even though Billboard Hot 100 did not come out until 1958.😂👌

I thought this sounded like a cat too 😂
LMAO!!!

do i understand this? nope, do i love it? yes, am i gonna have nightmares because of this? also yes
This is a segment of a folk song. The words are " Au clair de la lune ( In the light of the moon) mon ami Pierrot ( my friend Pierrot) The segment stops after the word "Prète" (Loan) The rest of this sentence should be "Prète moi ta plume, pour écrire un mot" ( Loan me your pen to write something down)
same
But I do understand it
Damn i didnt know we were mosquitos back then
HAHAHHA
LMAO 😭😭
That moment you realize you're hearing a voice from before the Civil War.
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.
Yes, same here and I'm terrified....
I came from that video too
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.
ya because the recording was played at about 3x the speed so it was believed to be a little girl or a woman
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
Yeah
Considering it was a child in 1860, he is likely to have died in 20th century
It's amazing to think we can listen to a 156 year old recording that was never designed to be played back in the first time.
An interesting point, there is something I often wonder about and that is how simple the basic invention of the phonograph (like Edison's machine) is compared to what we have now. It could have been invented hundreds of years earlier and if that was the case, imagine how much larger our audio archives would have been now.

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

he was probably so excited to actually get a sound!! I'm so proud of him. He did great for his time
This was recorded right before the Civil War. Let that sink in.

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.
Yes I laughed at the beginning but it was weird especially until the part 4 where you hear the lady singing "au clair de la lune"..creepy even if it it fascinating..It was in 1860..Jesus!!
Frenchie séverine Funnily enough, it is Edward Leon Scott DeMartinville himself singing it, but the organization who discovered it played it at the wrong speed, so it sounds like a woman. Whole story at th-cam.com/video/75UrxueiP-4/w-d-xo.html it's one of the guys in the organization himself who made it, and I've watched it so many times!
Frenchie séverine
That's actually a man singing it...
Imagine how crazy it would be, having your voice heard back to you for the first time ever
This was just recorded. It was to show what sound waves looked like. There was no way to play it back at the time.
@@ficekandrew still someone experienced it at one point, I thought it was cool
Indeed. Look at our generation. We had our fist shares. Internet, color tv, smartphones and many others. But yeah I get your point, people back then were not so technologicaly inclined and what is the usual for us, back then you would have been probably been burned to the rug acused of witchery or something :))
That one guy's mic:
Am i the only one who searched this and not from the recommended
Yes
Nope
Nope
I was busy listening to MJ and then thought boyyy I wonder who was the first man to create music and how Michael Jackson took it to a whole new level. And Here I am lol.
No i guess
We found out that this is suppose to be played at half the speed and is the inventor himself singing it.
Did I just listen to a restoration of a voice recording done 160 years ago? That is amazing!
It's was done 150 years ago actually
Only 1860’s kids will remember this one
😂
According to the team that recorded this, they later realized they played this at the wrong speed. The guy who made the original machine and recording wasn't a scientist and misunderstood the terminology for how to designate the speed of the recording. The team found the original recording of this with all his notes and realized they'd played it at 2x the original speed.
The actual recording isn't a woman singing, it's the man who invented the machine singing it. The science team actually made a TH-cam presentation for their research over here: th-cam.com/video/75UrxueiP-4/w-d-xo.html The part with the corrected song is at 42:06
@The Bean Distributer Inc. The research team figure it most likely was him since so many of the recordings are the exact same male voice but yeah, there is no way to verify for sure it's him.
It makes sense though that he wouldn't have someone else constantly coming in to do the recordings for his experiments when he could just do it himself much quicker.
Only 1860s kids will remember this one.
lol.
looooooooooool

Yeah, kids don't get the enjoyment of slavery we had back in the 1800s.

@@tomtrublu Woah your right
Its creepy that the comments were just like hours ago
It's amazing to hear sound from 1860. I wish humans were smart enough to have discovered this thousands of years ago, even if by accident. How amazing would it be to hear a Roman senate in action or even just day to day Roman life? The thought of it is so eerie and amazing at the same time. Just think that a thousand or two thousand years from now, our descendants can just look back at our vast wealth of information.
they won't look back on our wealth or information. we will destroy ourselves by then. too much people + too much technology
The amount of restoration that is needed to make this recognizable as a human voice and make it audible is amazing. At first, it sounds like somekind of monster or something, but then its starts to sound more and more like a man's voice. Pretty amazing what that mufflegraph can do.
A Rather Hated Austrian What the hell are you doing here.
“Anyone got a mic?”

I’m watching this 15 hours after the comment or above me
Wenn man sein ps4 Headset nach 3 Jahren wieder benutzt
This is kinda scary but that was cool that you restored it
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
Guys, what did you expect?
It has been recorded in 1860, I'm surprised how this got saved after so many years!
It probably sounds so bad because it was sitting in a box for 150 years before someone tried to listen to it. It probably sounded better in 1860 or they wouldn't have even used the recorder.
@@bigfloppa5731 Actually no. It sound bad because... well, the technology to capture sound signal was just in inception that day. Infact de Martinville, the man who invent Phonautograph, never expected could playback the voice with this tool, because it just transcribed sound wave on a piece of paper.
it was solely intended as a laboratory instrument for the study of acoustics, to visually study and measure the amplitude envelopes and waveforms of speech and other sounds.
The now recorded sound that we hear was created in 2008 by optically scanning the line using a computer to process the scans into digital audio files.
@@dalfifran7572 ok
The fact this man has died almost 150 years ago, and the way this recording distorts his voice... it's the closest thing to what I imagine hearing a ghost sing that I came across yet.
You can watch Michael Jackson sing, he’s also dead
@Thane Mac Read it up, it's the inventor of the machine singing to test it.
@Thane Mac That's what I mean :)
creepiness aside it’s amazing how much the restorer was able to bring out the actual tune
music in 1860's movies: *badass whistling, mariachi, harmonica, and electric guitars*
music in the real 1860's: this shit
I mean this is French, while the movies you described take place in the U.S., Wild West and Mexico.
To hear the voice of someone who’s been dead for hundreds of years… not a scan of their vocal cords. A real thing they actually said… it made me feel like there were ghosts all around me. This would make a good supernatural investigation show or horror movie.
Imagine, everyone alive during this sound recording is long dead.
Maybe not. Maybe someone is immortal and we dont know o.o

Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville made the first known recording of an audible human voice, on April 9, in the year 1860. It was a 20-second recording of a person singing 'Au Clair de la Lune', a classic French folk tune. The French song was recorded on a phonautograph machine that could only record and not play back - Got this from google, probably not accurate so you can fact-check. Just in case you want a bit of background and understanding of this
We are actually hearing someone who at that same time there were Cowboys in Saloons and Stagecoaches making runs. That's amazing
There were mostly cowboys in saloons and stagecoaches in the late 1800's also.... whats cool about this is this is before the civil war has even taken place
@@dutchman063 Our world is amazing. It's so awesome this recording is forever saved on TH-cam in case the original Cylinder recording gets destroyed by age
