That is, does your voice sound the same to you as to other people? This is not a philosophical question. :-)

No, they won't and they can't! Because when I speak, I get a feed-back from my own voice through the skull and from outside (from the mouth via the ears). What I hear is a mixture of both signals. What others hear is just the outer signal.

To know how you sound to others, record your voice using a good sound system and play back.

No. It's very simple to test this: make a recording of yourself speaking, then play it back to yourself. You'll be surprised.

The explanation I heard was, your voice vibrates the bones in your head and the bones in your head will resonate particular frequencies (these will sound louder to you). Other people, who hear you voice only through the air, don't hear these "enhanced" frequencies.

Ooo! Ooo! I just thought of another thing for you to try: get a friend, touch your heads together, then talk to each other.

probably not since no one ever listens to me at all.

every female in our family sounds nearly alike. sometimes even we don't know which person we are talking to on the phone.

that said, i don't think my sister or my mother or my daughters sound strange, but when i hear my own voice it startles me to think my voice is so weird. yet we all sound the same????

my aunt is sort of going deaf so she yells when she talks to us now. she is definitely hearing a different voice than we are.

I don't think so, cause sometimes people will make home videos, and I'll hear my voice, and It sounds like a deep robotic voice.....which is not what I had in mind....

No - try recording your voice. Others tell me I sound just like my usual self. I sound VERY different to myself!
