the oldest sound recording is thought to be one of Frank Lambert's invention of an experimental talking clock.
The oldest recording of a human is an 1888 speech by Lord Stanley at the Toronto Agricultural Fair.
The oldest musical recording is of Handel's choral music from June 29, 1888 at The Crystal Palace in London.

yeah it took me awhile because there are a lot of suposed first recordings, but the oldest documented one is the clock thing (which for some reason sounded really creepy to me when i was researching).
