Male's voices are deeper because of testosterone.

This is a chemical (hormone) in our bodies that changes us during a stage called puberty.

It causes the vocal chords to thicken, and your voice box (larynx) grows and in some men becomes quite evidently pronounced.

If you've seen men with a huge bump sticking out of their neck, it probably means they have a deep voice. It's an adam's apple.

But the size isn't significant.

Take Cristiano Ronaldo for example. His adam's apple is very noticeable (and in my opinion quite horrible to look at) but Barry White's was not and yet look at his famous low key singing!

Women also do have adam's apples but they are very rarely as pronounced as most men, and also women's voices only drop a semitone or two, while men's can drop as much as an octave during latter stages of puberty.

Sorry if I droned there, just wanted to get as much info as I could there.

Why do men snore more than women?

Men have more vibrant vocal cords than women do. Though some women do snore more than men. Another reasoning for why men snore more than women is that men have deeper and heavier vocal cords, so they may be snoring just as much as women, but more deeply. I hope this answers your question.

Will your voice change?

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


Why do men have lower voices than women?

When men and women reach puberty, both experience a rise in the hormone testosterone. The level of testosterone in men increases much more than in women. The presence of more testosterone in the male's body causes the larynx (voice box) to grow and angle itself outward, creating the "Adam's Apple," and causes the vocal chords to lengthen and become thicker. This concept is similar to a guitar--the thicker strings make a deeper pitch, and if you lengthen a string (in other words, loosen it) it will sound a lower pitch as well. Women's larynx also enlarge slightly (not enough to be seen through the skin of the neck) and so they also experience a minor deepening of the voice, but not as drastically as men because men dramatically increase in testosterone levels when they reach puberty. This also explains the difference between a boy's voice and a man's.
