The looser your vocal chords, the lower the sound. The tighter they are pulled, or the more taut they are, the higher the sound produced. This is the same as with stringed instruments.

If you have a big adams apple is your voice deep?

No - the tone of your voice is related to the size of your vocal chords. Think of it as being the difference between the high and low notes on a piano. The high notes are produced by short strings - the low notes by longstrings.


How do vocal cords make high or low sounds?

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.

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.

Why does helium change your voice?

Because Helium is lighter than the oxygen and other gases we breathe, when it passes through your vocal chords, it makes them vibrate quicker than the heavier gases like Oxygen-(8) and such. So because they cause your vocal chords to vibrate quicker, it tightens up your vocal chords and makes the pitch of your voice go up.

What are some vocal exercises to do on the piano?

First, hit a high D and sing "Daa." If your voice is shaking, dring a cup of olive oil. It soothes your throat. Next, hit a high C because this is supposed to warm your vocal chords and while you are humming, hum the highest pitched you can. This works! I have tried it!

What factor determines the pitch of a sound?

Pitch is the perceived frequency of sound. this may differ from the actual, measurable frequency of the sound because of overtones and harmonics, which when taken together the auditory part of the brain may perceive slightly differently.


How are sounds produced by your mouth?

The tongue does not produce the sounds; it modifies them. Sound is produced in the larynx (or voicebox). The tongue waves and wiggles and shapes itself so as to change the pathway the sound takes. This alters the mix of tones and the amplitude of them, resulting in different sounds.


How is sonar different to vocal sounds?

Basically No difference at all. It only in the application that differences become apparent and useful.In practice Sonar uses high frequencies - which are still sound - because it allows resolving smaller and smaller objects and details as the frequency increases.You can use vocal sounds in the same way. Just ask a blind person.
