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!

Just got out of explaining this to my mom. basically its down to a) how the person speaks, like what pitch, inflections and accents they have, and b) what I think youre mainly looking for, this thing called harmonics.
Nearly every sound is more than just one pitch. There are other pitches that resonate as well, and these are different depending on the container and the way the sound actually happens. These pitches are what cause a guitar and clarinet to sound different; or, two different people to sound dofferent. It’s also why every whistle sounds the same. a whistle has no harmonics, no other pitches beside the basic tone the whistle is at.
