Agreed. It reminds me of the final scene of Grizzly Man, when Herzog listens to the audio recording of the bear enthusiast and his girlfriend being mauled to death. Herzog puts the headphones down, visibly shaken, and comments (paraphrasing): nobody should have to listen to that.

He actually says to the mother: Jewel, you must never listen to this.

Wasn't it the girlfriend?

The girlfriend was on location and apparently the one who turned on the camera (but did not remove the lens cap, making it an audio-only recording). She was killed and partially eaten together with Treadwell.

Edit: The tape is actually owned by Jewel Palovak who this scene is also with; She's a former girlfriend of Treadwell, not his (or his girlfriends) mother.

This is the scene you're referencing [1]. You can actually see his hand shaking while listening to this. His reaction alone is enough for me not to want to hear it.
