Because helium is lighter than air, sound waves travel through it faster. ... Some people think that helium changes the pitch of your voice, butthe vibration frequency of the vocal cords doesn't change along with thetype of gas molecules that surround them.

It's responding to the air around it. Helium floats because it is buoyant; its molecules are lighter than the nitrogen and oxygen molecules of our atmosphere and so they rise above it. ... And now the balloon rises "upward" toward the thinner air like a diver coming up from deep water.
