And the key to this mystery is a sound known as the subglottal resonance（聲門下共振）. Itdeepenswith height and helps us build a mental picture of a person.“The best

28、 way to think about subglottal resonances is to imagine blowing into a glass bottle with water. The less water in the bottle, the lower sound,” said John Morton, a scientist at Washington University. And its the same for humans. The frequency of the subglottal resonance depends on the height. The ta

A number of same-sex pairs of different heights were told to read the same sentence aloud. It was played back to listeners who had to choose which one of
