Why are voices so unique and distinguishable? Even a single word can let you recognize someone.
In: Biology
You can tell the difference between different instruments. Just by playing one note, you can tell whether that instrument is a piano or a guitar. This is because the sounds aren’t just made of the fundamental pitches of those notes, but also other pitches and tones in different ratios that are unique to each instrument. Human voice boxes work the same way; every voice box is different, and so if you’re familiar with the sound of a voice you can identify it when you hear it.
