We Can Identify A Friend's Voice After Hearing Just Two Words - NightskyeB4Dawn - 03-20-2024
I just walked into the house and heard my Mother speaking to my brother. I have five brothers and I knew immediately which brother it was.
Everyone swears they can't tell the difference between my Mom ad her five daughters. Everyone says that all us girls sound the same, and that all the boys sound the same.
That is odd to me because I think we all have very distinctly different voices, and we all are very easily recognizable, even when they are trying to disguise their voices, which they do all the time. It never works.
Anyway, today it just made me think about how easily we can recognize the voices of those we know. So I looked it up and found this article.

Humans are smarter than machines when it comes to voice recognition.
Quote:In a new study, which was presented at the International Congress of Phonetic Sciences in Glasgow in August, linguists from the University of Montreal in Quebec found that more than 99 percent of the time, two words are enough for a person of normal hearing to distinguish the voice of a close friend or relative among other voices. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/voice-recognition-study_n_5617c7b2e4b0082030a2071d

I agree with this so much because politically speaking a lot of pundits and politicians lose me the moment they open their mouths.
