I’m not talking like why do they not like screaming but I mean why do they prefer the softer type of voices?
In: Biology
There are different theories to this, and some can overlap. The ones I lean towards are that 1) in-utero, where it’s warm and safe, you hear your mom’s voice more than anyone else’s, so you come to associate her voice with that comfort, and 2) that over human history mothers/women have done most of the child-rearing, so children have come to prefer their voices.
Somewhat off topic, but…
I have a naturally loud voice; I’m a large guy with big lungs, big chest. It is genetic, really. A family trait.
When I was dating, I realized I had to retrain my voice to speak to women differently. I had to speak softly and calmly. I now believe women were turned off by my naturally loud voice.
