Question

Why do women have shriller voices than men ?

Answer 1

Because the frequency of the vibrating part (larynx)is higher in womens as compared to men's........ THE HIGHER THE FREQUENCY OF THE VIBRATING BODY,THE HIGHER WILL BE ITS PITCH (SHRILLNESS).

Answer 2

This is due to shorter vocal chords.

• A loud sound with a high frequency is referred to as a high-pitched sound.
• Men naturally have longer vocal cords that vibrate with low frequencies, providing them a deeper voice.
• Whereas women typically have shorter vocal cords that vibrate more quickly and naturally generate a more extraordinary pitch.
• Thus, females maintain a higher-pitched voice than males as the sounds produced by their vocal cords are more significant.
