As a result, women find men with lower-pitched voices more attractive. It's the opposite for men, who are more attracted to women with higher-pitched voices, which is perceived as a marker for femininity. Attractiveness in the voice is important for the impressions we give our potential partners.
Results showed that participants were more likely to cooperate with and invest in vocally attractive partners. Though there was no significant gender difference generally, participants favored female unattractive voices over male unattractive voices.
Voice attractiveness creates some kind of impression when you meet someone for the first time. In fact, in one research, people were asked to listen and rate the voices of people they have never seen. This research revealed that sexually active people were more likely to get attracted to strangers' voices.
There is also abundant evidence that women prefer men with a deep voice, while men prefer women with a high voice. Attractive male voices are around 96 Hz and the most attractive women voices are up to 280 Hz.
Husky voices signal "sexual interest" and can help women stand out from the crowd, say researchers. Perhaps less surprisingly, the study found men also drop their pitch when they meet women they are attracted to.

Research confirms that deep voices give men an aura of power and sexual allure. Men with low, resonant voices are more likely to be perceived as attractive, masculine, respectable, and dominant.
Research has shown that men tend to prefer higher-pitched voices, as it indicates youth, femininity, and a smaller body. But women's voices change depending on where they are in their menstrual cycle, and are perceived as most attractive in the most fertile part of the cycle (via The Journal of Nonverbal Behavior).
Researchers at Aberdeen University have confirmed that women are attracted to guys with deep voices – as long as they say nice things. But it seems a woman's preferred pitch in a man's voice depends on the pitch of her own voice.
There are many ways to tell if you're a good singer. Some of these include singing in tune, having a good vocal range, and holding a note. Characteristics of a good singer include having control over your voice, singing softly or loudly as needed, and being able to harmonize with other singers.
The biggest changes to your voice will happen during puberty and will usually end by the age of 18. Your adult pitch is then reached 2 or 3 years later. But your voice won't completely stabilise until early adulthood. Your voice can carry on changing through your 20's, and even into your 30's.
Men are more attracted to women with higher-pitched and breathy voices, as these seem to indicate smaller body size, a study published in Plos One suggests.
Genetics undeniably play a role in singing. Your physiology affects the timbre of your voice and some singers are born with vocal apparatus that naturally makes their voice sound good.
Finally, the scientists found a connection between the size of man's vocal tract -- the distance between the vocal folds and the mouth -- and the attractiveness of his voice. Longer vocal tracts tend to cause different resonances in the voice that tend to be considered more attractive.

In the study, researchers examined the pitch patterns of 110 English and Czech speakers while they chatted with different people. When a guy who spoke either language was talking to a woman he found attractive, he naturally varied his tone from deeper to higher pitches, in a subtle sing-song way.
We found that the difference in women's voice pitch between these two conditions positively correlated with the strength of their preference for masculinized versus feminized male faces, whereby women tended to speak with a higher voice pitch to the type of face they found more attractive (masculine or feminine).
“Women like lower-pitched voices because of human evolutionary history. Men who have lower-pitched voices have higher testosterone, they're more likely to be healthy, dominant, attain high social status. These are all things women find really attractive,” O'Connor told Global News.
Nevertheless, Lean Pockets do claim, at least by name alone, to be somewhat easy on the waistline. Which is a good thing, because, according to a new trending study, heterosexual women may be more attracted to men who are thin. Not surprisingly, 9 out of 10 belts agree.
