What are some names for the vocal chords?

The scientific name for the vocal chords is the larynx. ------------------------------------------------------ This is incorrect. The vocal CORDS (or folds, or even better, the scientific name: the thyroarytenoid muscle) are IN the larynx. The larynx is made of cartilage, one bone (the hyoid bone) and contain several muscles, including the vocal folds/cords/thyroartenoid muscle. There are parts of the vocal folds called the vocalis muscle as well. NEVER CHORDS. A chord is a series of pitches played together, as in "play chords on the guitar" but a cord is a string or rope-like structure. As for the larynx, feel your adam's apple (yes, women have one, too - it's just smaller in most women). THAT'S the part of the larynx that's called the thyroid cartilage, and is the "hallmark" of the larynx.


Can an elephant Purr like a Cat?

Not exactly like a cat, no. Cats purr by using muscles that vibrate their vocal cords, while elephant vocal cords are so large that they can make a similar noise without being specially vibrated. Elephants can, and do, make a noise similar to cats purring. This sound is called 'tummy rumbling' because it sounds a bit like a tummy rumple. Elephants make this sound to keep in contact and let the rest of the heard know that all is well.

Is helium the only element that can change your voice?

Well there's a vocal trick I know how to do but I have no idea how I do it. It feels like I'm folding my whole throat inside out (not at all in any way shape or form painful). And I've never met another person that can do it. Most people try to use their falsetto but it isn't at all and not even close to how I perform it. I would love for somebody to explain to me how this is performed.
