Sounds of the World's Oldest Recorded At

Anyone who did not know Thomas Alva Edison? Yes, this is one of the inventors of the world's best inventors because the invention was patented around 1094 in history, one of which was the phonograph, you know, a voice recorder.

But in addition, it turned out to be a Frenchman named Edouard Leon Scott de Martinville has created a tool called Phonautogram 17 years before Edison! This tool is actually made ​​in 1860 and was used to investigate the sound, which is to save it as a paper, but Scott was never aware that these tools can also save the sound. But in 2008 some people from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the U.S. managed to change the "claw" on a ballot paper.

Meanwhile, several people from the same university were reinforced in France looking for some old stuff to play with, like a cylinder phonograph. But alas they only get black paper with scratches in the paper. They came home with a very disappointed, but when the paper is turned, they heard a beautiful sound out of the paper. At first they thought the voice was a woman, but the voice was Scott!!

In the recording, the sound can be heard Scott was singing the song Au clair de la Lune. Recording stops when he sang the "mon ami, Pierrot repondit". This recording is considered as the most important recordings in the history of mankind. But not only that, the scientists also discovered other records, such as when Scott was reading a poem Aminta, and when he was conducting tests on the device.

Voice is finally getting the title as the World's Oldest Sound, and precedes Experimental Talking Clock by Frank Lambert made ​​in 1878, and recorded the song in Egypt church Israel. The chances of getting another voice to be a bit older now impossible, but it could have been.
