[Renee5322]

This is awesome but kind of creepy at the same time

[bxjqz]

I bet that 1 dislike is the Irate Gamer.

[XoBleedingHeartoX]

3rd one is fuckin creepy lol

[frankothemountain]

Did you hear the recently found Bell test recordings? h t t p :/ / bio16p.lbl.gov/

[yousaywhatwhatwhat]

I checked the comments first because I thought something would pop up

[roselandalvin]

A professor told me that the oldest recorded sounds known to man are belching, sniveling, fucking,, and of course, the almighty fart

[TheCrisandairtwins]

Phonautogram At Different Speeds ( 1857 )

Sounds Like A Freaking broken Police Siren

[SMNONA100]

Thank you for presenting these sounds from the past. The past only exists in living thought, and you have helped to extend its reality.

[Gorseheart]

@LosKurto Lol Me too!

[Snagitvideos]

i cant hear anything on au clair de la lune?

[Gorseheart]

@LosKurto Ooooooooooooooh! I really suggest the study of Titanic's Marconi Men if you want to know more about the CQD and SOS messages! I'm so deeply infatuated it's funny~

[despair2ko]

@SuperFireFury Au Clair de la Lune is the first recording of a human voice, not the first recording in the world.

[AIKevorkian]

Was that elevated railway recording in NY?

[hitmankgm]

@LosKurto >Recorded in 1860

>Titanic sank in 1912

No.

[cameron34666]

dont no about yous but the 3rd one scared the fuck out of me

[alphakid42]

His Master's Voice?

Those Radio Shack microphones didn't live up to specs, did they?

[Lumotaku]

Remember this guy had no idea he was actually recording the actual sounds edison is still the first to make a recorded sound knowingly

[xZippy38]

The girl at 0:30 sounds hot, anyone got her number?

[Rush1013]

@xZippy38

its a guy, his voice is sped up 2 times from the original recording. 

[crazyknight2008]

yeah why isnt Au Clair de la lune here.....hmmm.....

[JackFSinging]

@crazyknight2008 it is there its the third one year you half wit bastard

[hitmankgm]

@crazyknight2008 you should probably watch the video before you comment

[Zen53GT]

Awesome. Are these sounds in the Library of Congress or in any sound preservation agency?

[98bigbutt]

The 1878 one sounded like a howling wind.

[madisonelectronic]

Where's the fart? hahahaha

[soccermanmessi]

That sounds nothing like au clair de la lune, sounds like an annoying bee.

[smoresandhoney]

@soccermanmessi shhhhhhhhhhhhh listen -.-

[Paulodafigaro1]

it's a ghost !

[squeege421]

Very cool. The last one sounds creepy as shit.

[LibraryPervert]

People _think_ they didn't have recordation technology back in other eras. It just wasn't the exact same 2.5-dimensional electronic methods that we are used to.

[Gold171]

Hipsters and der' sound makin' devices...

[sapphire2005]

Why do I keep listening Au Clair de la Lune over and over again??

It's so.....catchy.

[robbo4life]

what is the 1st one is tht the one that cannot be translated due to speed irregualarities

[CursorBuddy23]

How is Turning Fork older than Au Clair De La Lune?!

[DeutscheRossiya]

@CursorBuddy23 Au Clair De La Lune was just the first human voice recording,pre-dating the recording made by mr.Edison in 1877

[xzanhorinth1]

could you imagine if this device happened to be on hand and used when president lincoln gave his speech at gettysburg in 1863?...that would no doubt be a priceless sound byte if it managed to survive the past 147 years.

[karlsalz]

what railroad?

does édouard recorded this railroad?

where he has recorded these sounds?

[Rachulie]

sung by  a fly.

[McFro95]

lol

[squidgetpj92]

freakyyyyyyyy

[Beentakenaway123]

wow voice recording came before film.

[TheJoester1992]

This is haunting as hell.

[smfan2000]

@TheJoester1992 IKR!!!!

[axoxg13]

oh meh god!! " calls nasa " LOL

[DanceroidCPTV]

ewwwwww

[matik77771]

spooky

[Ziplock74]

apparently "au clair de la lune" wasn't actually a woman singing, but leon scott, just played back at an incorrect speed.

[gangstaz001]

sounds like a ghost.....oh wait it is a ghost!

[airsoftsniper23]

whoa

[lpvcrcd]

I read they have a fart by the first recorded dwarf on record.. just a little blip.

[worldsno1drwhofan]

they sound rather spacy/futuristic for the 19th century, they sound more like computer sounds lol.

[ferociousgumby]

I really don't get that last one! This is interesting, but I heard about a similar thing (Chopin playing the Minute Waltz) that was proven to be a hoax (same method of recording, in 1860s). I feel sort of funny about all this.

[fergetitnot456]

i feel kinda funny too and i really dont get the last one either

[despair2ko]

No, Au Clair de la Lune is real, the first person to be voice recorded.

[peacemaker083]

@despair2ko First singing voice to be recording, but not conversation.

[peacemaker083]

@despair2ko No. it is the first singing voice to be recorded, but not the first voice. Also that recording is a man and not a woman as some have believed.

[UTubeIsTrackingYou]

@despair2ko "Au Clair de la Lune " is a song.

[EmmetEarwax]

And it's all about pier rot !

Aside from using toredo treatments, I see no reason to sing about it !

[RobertsDigital]

UFO sounds .....aliens singing

[ganon95]

i had just read about this on some news thing that came from somewhere and considering this was 20 years before the phonograph was created this is pretty amazing
