Why do we have a whisper voice? Why can’t we just talk normally, but quiet?

When it’s quiet and you need to keep your voice down, you whisper. But a whisper isn’t just a quiet talk, it’s an airy, base-less sound. Why can’t we just talk normally, but quiet?

Another aspect is the point of whispering is to limit how far the voice travels. There are 2 ways to limit how far sound travels. First, by decreasing volume. Second, by increasing pitch. Lower notes travel further. By whispering it is both minimizing volume AND increasing pitch.
