Cool! A 130 Year-Old Recording of Alexander Graham Bell
Bell and Thomas Edison were both on a mission to be the first to record sounds for later playback. Edison won that race with the phonograph but it was Bell who invented the telephone.

The full story can be found at CNET. Here’s the recording itself. In case you can’t make it out, he says “Hear my name: Alexander Graham Bell.”
