How does the pitch of your voice change when you catch a cold or when you sing?

The pitch of your voice depends on how fast your vocal chords vibrate. The faster they vibrate, the higher the pitch. When you sing you use your muscles to force them closer together causing them to vibrate faster. When you are sick, your lymph nodes swell causing them to get closer and vibrate faster producing a higher sound.


Where vocal folds are located?

Your vocal folds (also called the ventricular folds) are toward the top of your larynyx, protecting your vocal chords. These folds help prevent you from breathing in solids.

They will vibrate at half the speed of your vocal chords, and produce a sound an octave lower than the note you are singing with your vocal chords. This sounds much like a foghorn or a prolonged burp. The people most noted for producing this effect, theTuvans, call this effect kargyraa.
