How is every person’s voice unique?

The title says it all.

I was just wondering how it’s possible that every single person’s voice is so unique to each other? It’s all the same systems, the same organs, so how does everyone sound so different? I understand it to a certain extent, but would like to have it explained!

On top of what the other posters have said here – our brain is also highly trained to notice these differences in everyone’s voices and be able to pick up on even very subtle ways to identify individual voices.

Our voice organs are more complex than most animals but this isn’t unique to humans either. Almost every species will have individually unique “voices”, we’re just often not as skilled at telling the difference. When you hear two different birds call for example they might sound the same (or very similar) to you but to that species of bird they would be able to tell each individual apart.
