Voice

Ancient Sanskrit poets believed that chewing on mango buds helped to sweeten the voice.

Adelbert Theodor Wangemann recorded the voice of Helmuth von Moltke, the chief of staff of the Prussian Army for thirty years, in 1889. It is the only known recording of someone born in the 18th century.


Jazz trumpeter Miles Davis' voice became permanently raspy when he yelled at a booking agent two days after having surgery on his vocal chords.

Our vocal folds, commonly known as vocal cords, are composed of twin infoldings of mucous membrane stretched across the larynx.

When a boy's voice breaks, it is caused by a growing and thickening of the larynx.

Girl's larynxes grow and thicken, too, but their voices only deepen by a couple of tones.

Other people hear a higher version of your voice than you do because one can hear a sound in two different ways. The first is through vibrating sound waves hitting your eardrum, the way other people hear your voice. The second way is through vibrations inside your skull, set off by your vocal chords.

We tend to dislike the sound of our voice when we hear it in recordings because vibrations in our skulls make our voices sound richer and deeper than they are in reality.

The normal range of the male human voice in still air outdoors is about 180 m (590 ft 6.6 in). The silbo, the whistled language of the Spanish-speaking inhabitants of the Canary Island of La Gomera, is intelligible under ideal conditions at 8 km (5 miles).


The voice of E.T. was done by a chain-smoker, and that was her actual voice.

Cats have about hundred vocal sounds and dogs about ten.
