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.

Fully mature sperm typically does not develop until boys reach puberty, which typically occurs around ages 10 to 14. During puberty, the production of testosterone increases, stimulating the development of sperm cells in the testes. It may take a few years for sperm to fully mature and become capable of fertilizing an egg.


Does the age at which you hit puberty affect your growth during puberty and if so how much For males and please include some data?

Yes, your age at puberty affects growth immensely. Bone growth is affected greatly, with a 10% reduction per year after the average age of puberty (12 years). Penile growth is affected to a higher degree, as hormone levels decline annually with each year after the average age of puberty. This can result in significantly shorter penises, often resulting in large penile curvature and premature ejaculation. If you are concerned about your sexual maturity, you should contact your physician and suggest hormone therapy.


How many male singers are born sopranos?

All human children are born with high voices, because their voice boxes are not developed enough to vocalize in the lower voice ranges. Boys who sing before reaching puberty all sing in the higher ranges -- one is the soprano range -- and once their voices change, their voices fall into adult male voice ranges. Notably, the Vienna Boys Choir is composed of males all born sopranos.
