Because Helium is lighter than air so when you breath it it makes your vocal chords move faster giving you an increased voice pitch
yes
your voice goes high and squeeky
The pitch of someone's voice is controlled by the tension on the vocal chords
Helium is a very light gas. Light gases tend to float (as seen in a helium filled balloon). It is a light gas because it moves very very fast. It is said to be NOT dense. When you have sucked Helium in, your breath that you use to speak will pass through the Helium gas. Your breath will now be moving faster. Things that move faster tend to have higher pitch. Note: Helium does not change your vocal chords or your vocal muscles... just the speed of your breath. Also, Argon gas can make your voice sound lower. But this is dangerous because it can sink into your lungs. So I was told you should be hanging upside down if you ever want to take a sip of Argon gas. I have never done this. DO NOT ATTEMPT this. You could pass out and suffocate if no one is around you.
Argon is sort of the opposite to "Helium" because when you take in Helium it makes your voice go high and squeeky but once you take in Argon it makes your voice Low and manly! Hope this helped
If helium replaces the nitrogen in normal air, the pitch of the diver's voice will increase considerably.
Firstly, helium is NON- TOXIC. Helium is useful to mankind as it is used in cryogenics, deep-sea breathing systems, blowing up balloons, providing the lightweight in airships etc. Breathing in a small amount of helium will temporarily increase the pitch of your voice (no harm), however, excessive inhaling of helium is dangerous as it may cause death by asphyxiation within minutes!
sucking in helium makes the pitch higher
Balloons, and making your voice sound fast and high pitch.

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.
Popping and inhaling helium from balloons will not permanently change your voice. The effect of inhaling helium on the vocal cords is temporary and lasts only a few minutes. It is not recommended to inhale helium for prolonged periods as it can be potentially harmful.
Helium is a chemical if you breath that chemical through a balloon or anything that involves helium will shut your body off.Helium can be a very dangerous chemical Helium is an inert gas, and despite the fact that some inhale it to change their voice temporally, I don't suggest inhaling. You need gas exchange to live.
Inhaling helium to make your voice different may be fun but you really should never do so. Doing so could be dangerous, especially if done to excess. This is due to the displacement of oxygen needed for respiration. Inhaling helium from a balloon is not as quite dangerous as doing so directly from a helium cylinder (the ones you see at stores to blow up balloon). It could fatally can rupture the tissue in your lungs. I recommend consulting a local doctor.
Helium is an inert gas and is not harmful to your body. When you breathe it you are depriving your body of oxygen which is harmful. When you inhale it you increase the speed of the sound of your voice, which is why your voice sounds funny.
Helium can change the tone of a humans voice in an helium-rich atmosphere.
Well noz is a gas that is used to make the race cars go fast. people use noz to get high noz by filling up balloons with noz and inhaling the noz from there kinda like when u use helium to make your voice funny but instead of helium its noz
