The Daily Mail quotes researcher Michael Hunter as saying, “the female voice is actually more complex than the male voice, due to differences in the size and shape of the vocal cords and larynx between men and women, and also due to women having greater natural ‘melody’ in their voices”.
“This causes a more complex range of sound frequencies than in a male voice,” Mr Hunter said.
