"When a woman naturally lowers her voice, it may be perceived as her attempt to sound more seductive or attractive, and therefore serves as a signal of her romantic interest," she adds. Their research also measured people's awareness of the changes in others' voices.

Lowering your voice may be a means of demonstrating attraction, says Susan Hughes, assistant professor of psychology at Albright College in Reading, Pa., in a study, "Vocal and Physiological Changes in Response to the Physical Attractiveness of Controversial Partners," to be published in the fall by the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior. "We found that both sexes used a lower-pitch voice and showed a higher level of physiological arousal when speaking to a more attractive opposite-sex target," she says. The study examined 48 Albright students using Skype to leave scripted voice-messages while viewing a picture of a fictitious person "receiving" the message. The men and women the participants looked at varied in attractiveness. Hughes - who expected that women would raise their voices to sound more feminine and attractive - was surprised. "There appears to be a common stereotype in our culture that deems a sexy female voice as one that sounds husky, breathy, and lower-pitched," she says. "This suggests that the motivation to display a sexy/seductive female voice may conflict with the motivation to sound more feminine." Female voice manipulation suggests that altering their tone may be a learned behavior based on sexual voice stereotypes rather than actual vocal characteristics of attractiveness. "When a woman naturally lowers her voice, it may be perceived as her attempt to sound more seductive or attractive, and therefore serves as a signal of her romantic interest," she adds.

London - Next time a woman drops a few octaves as she says hello, don’t be alarmed – it may just be she fancies you. 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. However, the finding that women subconsciously do this only applied when chatting to men for whom there was a lot of competition. If a man was considered worth dating but was not fancied by more than 50 percent of other women, they would use a higher-pitched, more "feminised"speech style, researchers found. Lead author Katarzyna Pisanski, of Sussex University, said: "Although women spoke with a higher and more variable voice pitch toward men they selected as potential mates, women lowered voice pitch toward men who were most desired by other women and who they also personally preferred." She said the apparent contradiction could be resolved because "a relatively high voice pitch in women can signal youth, femininity and reproductive fecundity". A lower pitch, on the other hand, could signal "sexual interest and intimacy", and may also be used to show "competence, trustworthiness and leadership". The research also appeared to confirm that women are "the choosier sex", the authors said. Women showed a preference for only one third of their dates, while men were interested in half of women they met. The study, which is published in the Royal Society Journal, was based on a speed-dating event with 30 adult men and women.
