Why we hate the sound of our own voices... (https://theconversation.com/why-do-we-hate-the-sound-of-our-own-voices-158376?utm_source=digg)
Your voice, when played back to you, can sound unrecognizable. As a surgeon who specializes in treating patients with voice problems (http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=zZY5ezsAAAAJ&hl=en), I routinely record my patients speaking. For me, these recordings are incredibly valuable. They allow me to track slight changes in their voices from visit to visit, and it helps confirm whether surgery or voice therapy led to improvements. Yet I’m surprised by how difficult these sessions can be for my patients. Many become visibly uncomfortable upon hearing their voice played back to them. “Do I really sound like that?” they wonder, wincing.

(Yes, you do.)

I don't like the sound of my own voice- it sounds weird to me.

Sometimes recording devices and even telephones don't reproduce your voice all that accurately. I have a friend who has a higher pitched voice, but on some phones she literally sounds like Minnie Mouse or about an octave higher than in face to face communication.

I've heard that the Sopranos accent is North Jersey and/or the Italian part of Staten Island.
