Sorry for the title, but I didn’t know how to write it down differently.
I had a conversation with a colleague about hearing your own voice differently because of the different route the sounds takes (through bones or air), internet says that we hear our own voice lower.
The following question came up:
How is it possible that when people explain sounds, because of demonstrating perfect pitch by example, always make the exact sounds they need for use to hear (through air), while they themself should hear a different sound (through bone).
If they make the needed sound as it is for themselfs it would be an another sound for the perceiving audience, right!?

So your voice is actually made up of a whole bunch of different frequencies. And it turns out that regardless of how that sound is transmitted (through air or bone or whatever else) those frequencies do not change. What does change, though, is how loud those frequencies are. In the case of bone vs air, low frequencies are transmitted better than high frequencies, so your voice sounds deeper because the low frequencies are louder relative to the high ones.
