b. Baby boy
c. A man
d. A woman

Answer: Among these options, a man typically has the lowest fundamental frequency in his voice.

Why Does a Man’s Voice Have a Lower Frequency?

  1. Vocal Cord Length

    • Adult men generally have longer and thicker vocal cords, which naturally vibrate at a lower frequency, producing a deeper (lower-pitched) sound.

  2. Hormonal Influence

    • Testosterone, especially during puberty, leads to the growth of the larynx (voice box), causing a noticeable drop in pitch.

  3. Physical Structure

    • Men’s larynx position and the resonance in their vocal tract also contribute to producing lower frequencies compared to women and children.

Comparison of Typical Frequency Ranges

Category Approximate Frequency Range Reason
Baby Girl Higher pitch (around 300 Hz or more) Shorter vocal cords and smaller vocal tract.
Baby Boy Higher pitch (around 300 Hz or more) Similar to baby girls; still developing vocal cords.
Woman Medium pitch (around 165–255 Hz) Vocal cords shorter than men on average.
Man Lower pitch (around 85–180 Hz) Thicker, longer vocal cords produce lower frequencies.

Key Insight:

  • Adult men’s voices are generally the deepest, thus they have the minimum frequency among the listed options.
