Just curious, but I wonder how this would have been recorded? I can understand the 911 calls, but not a personal call.

They were voicemails.

Couldn't do it when I was there. I tried my best to steer clear of the area when I visited. Still tough to think about that day and I was a thousand miles away.

I went in April. Very moving museum. I was surprised at how big it was. The building you walk into wasn't very large and I had no concept of what I was going to see except that it was a 911 memorial/museum. The museum is largely underground and covers the whole area that runs under the fountains.
I was told to make sure you give yourself at least two hours. I would recommend doubling that. There are a lot of short films you can watch throughout. If I remember, most were 5 to 10 minutes long and looped over and over again. There's also one room that goes one by one through everyone killed that day. For many, they have audio clips of loved ones, friends or coworkers talking about that person. Very emotional thing to sit through for awhile. My wife and I probably sat there for 30 minutes listening before moving on.

I went to the 9-11 memorial museum on memorial day weekend a few weeks after it opened.
It puts you in the situation and you can actually feel the intense sense of panic. It's pretty overwhelming and no visitor to New York should miss the opportunity to see the museum.
The Survivor's Stairs.. Weird.. This is the part that got to me too.. I actually cried.

The part that sticks out the most to me, was walking down that concrete staircase, which is a recovered section of the actual staircase from the tower.

Went a couple of weeks ago, incredible. Like others have said, give yourself plenty of time to take in all the little things, lots to read and listen to. I'd highly recommend going first thing in the AM to be with as few people as possible.

I haven't been to the memorial but any time I see the videos of the planes hitting the tower I still get chills, teary eyed, and extremely angry

It is pretty uncomfortable watching people take selfies and smiling photos by the footprints. Some people lack awareness.
I think the most uncomfortable thing I witnessed was people in the gift shop. I understand they need money to keep it running, but I went from about crying seeing the names at the fountains, especially the ones with and unborn child to being in an amusement park type of gift shop operation where people were arguing over if they should get a t-shirt or a gold plated survivor tree leaf. I just felt disgusted.
