Bono has revealed that he does not like the sound of his own singing voice and that he can't listen to it.

In an interview with Ellen Degeneres yesterday (December 1), he remarked that he thinks he "sounds like a girl".

He says that if a U2 song comes on the radio, he will turn the volume down:

"I do try to avoid it...If I hear our songs on the radio I tend to turn them down. Not because I don't like them or believe in them. Actually, my voice annoys me. I always think I could have sang it better".

He the added:

"I am sort of a macho, Irish guy and particularly in those 80s songs, I think I sound like a girl".
