Possible mistake in daily challenge

I think there is a possible mistake in the following sentence when listening to it: "What you hear has nothing to do with what you see.". The automatic voice seems to say "What do you hear...", instead of "What you hear...", but the "correct" sentence is without the first "do".

Hello Dani,

 

Thank you for your question.

 

It's very common for native speakers to connect the sounds /t/ & /d/ to /u:/.

The speaker is saying: wha /tu:/, which is very similar to wha /du:/.

That's why you think he/she is saying 'what do you'.
