Because my voice is deep and I'm soft spoken, I've always been told people could feel my voice before they heard it, and a lot of noise cancellation models have a hard time distinguishing me from environmental sound and suppress my speech.

It's weirdly isolating not being able to communicate in certain meeting software or on some phones because a computer thinks I'm the machine.
