Why are our voices different when we all have the same larynx?

Just as individuals have different heights and body shapes, the size and shape of internal organs also differs. In the larnyx, the bands of tissue called the vocal cords are held in place across the opening, and vibrate to produce sound.The relative thickness or tightness affects the sound produced, and we can control this when we speak in a high-pitched (alto or falsetto) or low-pitched (bass) tone. The basic condition of the tissue determines the range of possible sounds. Cords that are thick or slack produce lower tones, while those that are thin or tight produce higher-pitched tones. For this reason, children's voices and women's voices are generally higher pitched while men have a lower pitch.


Since the protrusion of the Adam's apple is caused by the enlarging of the larynx and hence resulting in a deeper voice-Do guys with high-pitched voices still have a protruding Adam's apple?

Yes, although not necessarily as much as guys with the deeper voices.


What organ helps you speak?

There are several organs of the human body that help in speaking. They include the lungs, larynx, vocal folds, and the tongue. The teeth, jaw and articulators also help when a person is speaking.


Why do boys' voices crack during puberty?

A child has a small larynx and thin vocal cords, which creates a higher pitched voice. When boys hit puberty, they have an increase in testosterone, which causes a lengthening of the larynx and a thickening of the vocal cords. And as children grow, the cavities in their noses and throats enlarge, allowing more space for sound to resonate. All these changes combined result in a lowered voice.The whole process takes place gradually, but when there is a period of rapid growth, the muscles involved can struggle to properly control the vocal cords. This causes some boys to experience a “crack” or “squeak” in their voices from time to time. It’s completely normal and usually only lasts a few months.

Why aren't all sounds the same?

Sounds are different because they are created by vibrations at varying frequencies and amplitudes. These vibrations determine the pitch and volume of the sound. Additionally, the medium through which the sound travels can affect how it is heard, for example, sound travels differently through air compared to water or solid objects.

Will your voice change?

Yes, during puberty, men's voices change. As their larynx (voice box) develops, the sound made gets deeper.


How does your voice change?

It's the larynx (or voice box) that's causing all that noise. As the body goes through puberty, the larynx grows larger and thicker. It happens in both boys and girls, but the change is more evident in boys. Girls' voices only deepen by a couple of tones and the change is barely noticeable. Boys' voices, however, start to get significantly deeper.
