Best Answer

Since helium is seven times lighter than air, when your lungs are full of helium and you begin to speak, the compression waves of the sound of your voice move faster through the helium until they are expelled from your lungs. At that point, the waves are quickly slowed. However, the ear detects more closely bunched sound waves as a higher pitch, such as those moving moving more rapidly through the helium.

Why does your voice changes after you drink helium?

You don't drink helium, you inhale it. When you then attempt to speak, since the density of helium is less than that of air, you voice has a higher timbre.Note: Helium does not contain oxygen. If you breathe helium alone, you will tend to pass out. If you don't get oxygen for a sustained period of time, you will die.
