The pitch of a sound depends on its frequency. Middle C on a piano is 261.626 Hz. The A below middle C is 220 Hz. The A above middle C, which is the frequency of a common tuning fork, is 440 Hz. The next higher A is 880 Hz.

∙ 14y agoSound is made when air is forced through the vocal chords at the top of the larnyx. The chords sit atop the trachea. When they are constricted, you make a squeeky sound. When they are relaxed, you make a lower pitch sound. This is done subconscienously.

What is tightening the vocal cords?
Tightening of the vocal cords is also known as vocal cord dysfunction (VCD). This is a condition in which the muscles of the vocal cords tighten and this can make breathing difficult. It is caused by an autoimmune disorder.
When you speak where does the noise come from?
Your larynx, or voicebox, is a swelling in the trachea, or windpipe. Inside the larynx are vocal cords, which are bands of tissue that vibrate as your breath goes past them. It is this vibration that makes the noise. As you grow, you learn how to make the vocal cords contract and relax in order to make different noises. The noise is amplified by the throat and nose. Men typically have larger voiceboxes than women, and the larynx of a man is nicknamed the "adam's apple."
What is the organ that helps us talk?
The voicebox allows you to speak. It is a hollow, tubular organ situated at the top of your windpipe and its two main jobs are to stop food from entering the airways and allow you to speak. The voicebox or larynx works by manipulating the air that passes over it. As the air enters the voicebox, the vocal cords expand and contract, working together with the lips, tongue, teeth AND throat. The shorter your vocal cords, the higher the sound you produce. The mouth is also very important. When you whisper, you can make sounds with the help of the voicebox. The air blows through your mouth and creates various vibration patterns
Where is your voicebox located?
The voice box is known medically as the larynx. It is composed of the larygneal cartilage, mucus linings and the vocal cords. These structures work together to allow human speech and vocalization.I think the vibration goes through to your voice box helping you to make sound and speak but i am guessing so check other websites okThe voice box helps you speak. It is also known as the vocal chords-at least from what I've heard.
How did homo erectus communicate?
In aII mammals, other than modern humans, the larynx is high in the throat, which allows the animal to breathe and drink at the same time. However, the resulting small pharyngeal cavity limits the range of sounds that can be produced, and most mammals depend on the shape of the oral cavity and lips to modify the sounds produced in the larynx. Modern humans are able to make a wide range of sounds because the larynx is situated low in the throat, thus creating a large sound-chamber, the pharynx, above the vocal cords. Jeffrey Laitman, Philip Lieberman and Edmund Crelin, demonstrated that the expanded pharynx is the key to producing fuIIy articulate speech. Human babies are born with the larynx high in the throat and can breathe and drink simultaneously, as they must during nursing. Homo erectus fossils show evidence that the larynx was high in the throat, so they would have been able to make a limited range of sounds. Even much less intelligent animals can be seen to communicate by sound. Homo erectus would have had the ability to communicate orally, perhaps using a limited range of speech, bu they could not have talked in the way Homo sapiens can.
