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?

I guy got a voice box transplant from a stranger after 20 years with no voice, yet he sounds similar to his father when he speaks. It seems much of the voice comes from the shape of your throat/mouth/etc.
“Heidler recovered his voice, which he says now sounds a bit like his father’s voice, and 13 years later “continues well today,” Strome said.”
