Helium is not the only gas that will make a voice change, but in most cases you can't inhale other gases without doing substantial harm to yourself. Hydrogen would have approximately the same effect as Helium, but it's so reactive that it would not be safe to inhale; Nitrogen and Oxygen are the gases you normally breath, so would create a normal sound. Neon is very near to those in atomic weight. Fluorine gas is nearly the same but quite deadly, as is chlorine. Only nonradioactive isotopes of the inert gases might be safe to inhale, and the heaviest of those would have an effect opposite that of the Helium.
Helium can change the tone of a humans voice in an helium-rich atmosphere.
no it can change to high voices but not low
Helium causes a change in the voice because it is a different density than regular air, so when it is in your chest and passes through your vocal cords it vibrates at a different frequency.
Generally, no but Helium does cause damage to your vocal cords that can result in additional complications if overused.
sucking in helium makes the pitch higher
The change in voice is caused by the helium allowing the vocal cords to vibrate differently in the lighter gas.
It is the element helium, symbol He. The change in sound is because helium is much lighter than air and thus the speed of sound in helium is much faster than the speed of sound in air. This change in the speed of sound retunes the resonant chambers in the vocal tract to a higher frequency, making the voice sound "chirpy" while the helium is present.
Helium will change the tone of your voice. The lighter gas allows the vocal cords to vibrate at a different frequency. However, helium does not sustain life. If you breath too much of it you could pass out, or even die. The first result of reduced oxygen to the brain is brain damage. The second result is death. Breathing in pure helium deprives the body of oxygen, as if you were holding your breath. If you couldn't breathe at all, you'd start to die in minutes-as soon as your body exhausted the supply of oxygen stored in the blood. But helium speeds up this process: When the gas fills your lungs, it creates a diffusion gradient that washes out the oxygen. In other words, each breath of helium you take sucks more oxygen out of your system. After inhaling helium, the body's oxygen level can plummet to a hazardous level in a matter of seconds. You don't have to worry about fatal asphyxiation if you're sucking from a helium balloon at a party. At worst you'll keep going until you get lightheaded and pass out-at which point you'll stop inhaling helium and your body's oxygen levels will return to normal. Of more concern is the possibility that you'll hurt yourself when you fall down. Remember, the first result of reduced oxygen to the brain is brain damage. The second result is death.
Inhaling helium changes the resonance frequency of your vocal chords, making your voice sound higher-pitched because sound travels faster through helium than through air. This change in pitch is temporary and reversible once the helium is exhaled and normal air replaces it in your lungs.
It is a gas that weighs 6 pound. sulfurhexafluoride helium weighs -6 pounds. that's why when you inhale helium, your voice goes up. and when you inhale sulfur hexafluoride your voice is weighed down to a lower voice. it sounds awsome.
helium balloons and make your voice sound weird
You can use air but it won't float so I would recommend helium. If you suck in helium, it will make your voice sound weird.... Try it!!
