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?

Not all men with high-pitched voices have a highly prominent Adam's apple, as the size of the larynx can vary among individuals. The size of the Adam's apple is influenced by factors like genetics and hormonal levels, and may not always directly correlate with voice pitch.

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 don't boys scream yell like girls?

Part of it is anatomy. Vocal chords and voicebox(larynx), sinuses, and all the other parts that shape our voices are generally a bit different between men and women, which is responsible for part of the difference. Then there's a cultural part as well. We've all seen the tv series and the movies where women scream at a high pitch, and men scream lower and rougher. Wether we think about it or not, we tend to do as we've seen others do before.

Why are your voices different?

Why are voices different?

Because just like we look different on the outside, we also are different on the inside. Vocal chords, voice box(larynx), throat, palate, sinuses. the shape of all of the above differ some from person to person. On top of that comes how we use them. How we exhale as we speak, how we shape the sounds. It all comes together to influence what we sound like.


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.


Why does Daft Punk have different voices in different songs?

Well the same voice would sound stupid in all of their songs. Imagine the robot in Technologic singing Robot Rock, or the voices in Forget About The Word in Harder Better Faster Stronger. Wouldn't that sound stupid?
