Answer 1

Ooh voltage=sound helped my brain a bit. I’ve asked this question before. Have a friend in sonar tech I honestly asked to break it down for me. And still didn’t understand it. Voltage is a nice word, I like it and it’s helping. I would like to understand literally though. How the hell is the voice transferred over wire. I do not hear data, I hear the actual voice, and in real time, how is it so fast? Smarter brains than me for sure.
