Thomas Edison wasn't the first person to record sound. A Frenchman and Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville actually did it earlier. He invented a device called the phonautograph, and on April 9, 1860, recorded himself singing the words, "Au clair de la lune, Pierrot repondit." (French for "In the moonlight, Pierrot answered".)

∙ 6y agoÉdouard-Léon Scott de Martinville is credited with inventing the phonautograph in 1857. It was the earliest known device for recording sound waves.
The first sound recorder, known as the phonautograph, was developed by Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville in 1857. It could transcribe sound waves onto a soot-covered surface but was not capable of playing back the recorded sound.
They invented the first transistor.
Alfred Nobel invented dynamite.
The phonograph was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison. It was one of the earliest devices capable of recording and playing back sound.
The crescograph was invented by Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose in 1901. It is a device used to measure the growth of plants.
AlexanderÕs idea of creating a phone was generated by his study of the human ear. He first made a phonautograph, a device that can draw vibrations of a human voice. AlexanderÕs phonautograph led him to consider that voice might be transported electrically.

Audio recording was invented in the 1850s. While the recording method didn't allow for playback, a device called a "phonautograph" was invented by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville and recorded audio waves it was given.
The answer is phonograph it was developed by a phonautograph.
The first practical sound recordingand reproduction device was the mechanical phonograph cylinder, invented by Thomas Edison in 1877.For a fuller answer, Google 'Firsts in the recording of sight and sound'.
Thomas Edisons phonograph (gramophone) was the first device invented that could play recorded audio. The first sound recording device was the phonautograph, invented by Eduoard Leon-Scott in 1857, people had also found was to record audio onto foil, but the phonograph was the first audio reciprocation device.
Alexander Graham Bell invented many things, the most famous is the telephone, except he didn't invent the 'phone. The telephone was invented by an Italian called Innocenzo Manzetti, Bell just gets the credit. Bell did invent the metal detector. US president James Garfield was shot by an assassin, and Bell built an instrument to find the bullet. It worked perfectly, but couldn't find te bullet because the dying president was lying on a bed with metal bedsprings. So Bell invented many things that he isn't known for, and didn't invent the telephone that he is known for.
The first sound recording was made in 1860 by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville using a phonautograph, which captured sound waves visually on paper. However, the playback of this recording was not possible until the technology advanced in the late 20th century.
There are a number of recording and playback alternatives that predate the CD. Among them are:Al-Jazari's "robot band," circa 1206 AD.the Phonautograph (Alexander Graham Bell constructed one from the ear bones of a human cadaver that etched sound vibrations on a glass tube encased in carbon). Phonautograph recordings were not made to be heard, but read. The first phonautograph recordings were actually heard for the first time in 2008Phonograph cylinder - Wax, tin, or lead cylinders/discs/conesMusic roll - Mechanical recording (brass cylinders with raised pins, or paper scrolls with cutouts)Gramophone record - Shellac records (old 78's)Wire recordingElectrical cut recordReel-to-Reel, Magnetic TapeElectrical transcriptionsVinyl RecordStereophonic Vinyl Record4-Track (Stereo-Pak)Compact Cassette8-Track (Stereo-8)MicrocassetteMinicassetteQuadraphonic 8-Track (Quad-8) (Q8)Quadraphonic Vinyl Record (CD-4) (SQ Matrix)Betamax Digital AudioElcasetLaserdiscDAT (Digital Audio Tape - uses the same frequency and bit rate as CD in a mag tape format).24= track recording (studio recording)
