This does not make any sense as a sentence in English. I think you mean this:

When I say "rage", people think I'm saying "race".

I can give you the IPA symbols, but I don't know if that will help.

"race" ~ /re?s/ [ /s/ is an unvoiced sound. ]
"rage" ~ /re?d?/ [ /d?/ is a voiced sound. ]

/s/ is the sound at the beginning of "sun", "say", and "see", and at the end of "rice", "fuss", and "peace".
/d?/ is the sound at the beginning of "jet", "jam", and "job", and at the end of "ledge", "dodge", and "page".
