Anyone else's EVP recordings sound completely different on playback than what you heard live?

Never done much EVP work myself but I've been looking into it lately and this exact thing keeps coming up when I read other peoples accounts. Like they describe hearing something faint in the room at the time, then on playback it's completely different - different words, different tone, sometimes clearer than what they actually caught in the moment.

Makes you wonder what's actually going on. Is the recording picking up something our ears filter out, or is something else happening entirely. I've seen similar weirdness with paranormal photography up here in Cumbria, where you catch something on camera that nobody noticed being there.

Anyone had this happen repeatedly with the same location? Curious whether its consistent or just random. Would love to hear some specific examples if people have them.

@FreddieWendigo yes this is extremely common and there's actually a decent explanation for it. The human ear in a live environment is doing a huge amount of real-time filtering - ambient noise, your own breathing, expectation bias, all of it gets processed by your brain before you consciously register anything. A recorder captures everything flat with no filtering at all. So something that was genuinely there but masked by live ambient processing can appear much clearer on playback. The reverse happens too, where people swear they heard something clearly in the room that doesn't show on the recording at all. I've had both happen on Dartmoor shoots going back 30 years. The recorder really is a different instrument to your ear, and treating them as equivalent is where a lot of EVP analysis goes wrong.
