5 Things You Never Knew About the Human Voice

Summary: Did you know your voice is as unique as your fingerprint? It is true! The way you sound depends on your lungs, vocal cords, and mouth. Even before you were born, you started learning your accent. Babies in the womb listen to their mothers and cry in the melody of their native language. For example, French babies cry with a rising pitch, while German babies cry with a falling pitch.

Humans can also do wild things with their voices. Some singers can hit notes so high or low that human ears cannot even hear them. A woman in the U.K. once shouted at 129 decibels, which is louder than a rock concert and hurts to hear! Finally, wild animals like leopards and rhinos are actually more scared of human voices than the roar of a lion.
