Shouldn't? why?
It's very possible that some frequencies get dampened in the Eustachian tube.
There's a big difference between changing the relative strength of overtones and singing out of tune. If I sing an a, the frequencies I produce at the same time are ideally
440, 880, 1320, 1760 Hz,.. and so forth..., where 440 is usually the strongest and defines the pitch. The characteristic texture of my voice is mainly created by the relative strength of these components, and what I hear in my head and what is recorded will mainly differ in this respect, which of those overtones are amplified to which extent. If on the other hand I changed the frequency and sang 430, 860, 1290, 1720 Hz instead, I'd be out of tune.
