I can walk around all day and not encounter a voice of someone who sounds like someone else I know, yet if I was facing away from someone I knew and heard their voice, I’d likely turn around at the sound of it. There are times where I’ll see faces and think they look like someone I know, but I don’t think I’ve ever thought to myself or commented to someone that they sound like someone I know. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone who’s voice sounds like a celebrity that I’d recognize, unless they’re doing an intentional impression.
Does the brain not seek out similar voices in the same way it may faces? Is the brain able to identify people that distinctly that it can remember their exact voice pattern and discern it from others?

Every trumpet sounds mostly the same when played by the same person, and the same trumpet sounds different for each person that plays it.
The voice is just a human’s natural musical instrument… and every person plays theirs differently… even when it closely resembles someone else’s voice in range and tambre… and it’s also why a skilled impressionist can create the illusion of sounding like another person.
