| | What's_in_a_Voice.html |
| | The emptiness of today's digitized voices shows that even in the physical, acoustic realm, what is essential about the human voice is not merely patterns of sound, but the patterns of thought that are conveyed in and through the sound. | | | As the most human mode of performance, the choir naturally creates music that is deeply characteristic and representative of humanity. | | | A voice is empty and meaningless if there is no intelligence behind it, or if there is no listener to hear and respond to it. |

| | Voice Analysis |
| | In the human voice, the sound intensity, the timbre and the audibility are largely due to the number of harmonics in the acoustic spectrum. | | | As we have just described, the complex tone which composes the human voice (but also many musical instruments) is made of a sequence of sinusoids. | | | It was significant that, besides the melody and likeness to a human voice for the Gracula, the ratio of the formantic structures (resonances) were similar to the values in the human vowels. |

| | DR V3.1: OBOE AND THE HUMAN VOICE |
| | The character and colour of the sound of both oboe and the human voice depend largely on the partials which the fundamental sound is given by its resonators. | | | the flute, the clarinet or the violin, the compass of the oboe compares favorably with that of the soprano voice. | | | Of all instruments, particularly the double reed instruments can justify the claims of being near to the most natural and accomplished of all musical sound producers, the mechanism of human vocal organs, which generate the human voice. |

| | The human voice (from sound) -- Encyclopædia Britannica |
| | The basic elements out of which musical symbolism is built are sounds, tones, melodies, harmonies, and the various musical instruments, among which is the human voice. | | | All vowels are normally voiced, but consonants may be either voiced or voiceless (i.e., uttered without vibration of the vocal cords). | | | Groups of emphasized harmonics, known as formants, play a crucial role in the vowel sounds produced by the human voice. |

| | New Scientist Breaking News - Musical roots may lie in human voice |
| | This fact, combined with the new finding that preferred musical intervals are better predicted by the acoustic quirks of the human vocal tract than by mathematics, leads the scientists to argue that the structure of music is rooted in our long exposure to the human voice over evolutionary time. | | | Key universal features in world music may have their roots in the ever-present sound of the human voice during the course of evolution, suggests a new study. | | | The researchers say that, aside from animal calls, speech emanating from oscillations of the human vocal cords is virtually the only natural sound that we hear as tones. |

| | Human Voices and the Wah Pedal |
| | Not surprisingly, a wah sounds something like a human voice, but not close enough to be really mistaken for a vowel sound. | | | To shorten a long story, us humans listen for and assign meaning to the relative spacing of the first three formants of the human vocal tract. | | | However, it also is a lowpass filter with a resonant peak, not single frequency peaks like human vocal resonances. |
