I was going to do it on my computer mic yesterday, but I never got the chance. Here it is on my phone, while I'm still in a relatively quiet place.

Extra side note:
That change happens because the next word after "have" starts with a consonant.
If it were something like "I wouldn't have asked", it would come out like "I wouldn-nuv asked".
