When does a boy's voice change?

Many boys will find that their voices change when they reach puberty. This is due to the development of the body. A unique Adam's apple will form in the boy's throat, and the vocal cords will continue to thicken and widen, etc., forming a clear contrast with the previous voice. This situation usually occurs when the boy is around fifteen years old.

Why do boys' voices change?

As we all know, human voice mainly depends on the vibration of the vocal organ in the body - the vocal cords, and the vibration of the vocal cords is closely related to the development of the larynx. In childhood, the structure of the larynx is similar for both boys and girls, and the length and thickness of the vocal cords are similar. The voice is generally called child voice, and there is no obvious difference.

After entering puberty, the larynx of boys develops rapidly under the action of increased androgen concentrations in the body, and the cartilage that makes up the larynx protrudes forward, forming the Adam's apple that is unique to men. The vocal cords located in it also continue to grow, widen, and thicken, and their length rapidly increases from 8 to 9 mm to 17 to 23 mm.

Therefore, boys have difficulty in producing high-pitched sounds and their voices become rough and deep. Girls, on the other hand, have less androgen secretion in their bodies and their throats do not develop significantly. They usually do not have Adam's apples, and their voices are high, sharp, and round.

When does a boy's voice change?

1. The human body is constantly growing and developing, and so are the organs. Before the age of 15 to 16, there is not much difference between the development of boys and girls, and their voices are very similar. When boys are about 15 years old, they enter the voice change period, and the throat will gradually become larger, with prominent nodes, and the voice will become much heavier than before.

2. In fact, the voice change period is also divided into several stages. In the earliest period, when singing or talking, the voice is still the original childish voice, but when shouting loudly, the voice will lose control and become unable to make any sound. After several months of changes in the later period, the boy's voice is no different from that of an adult.

3. Parents should keep their children optimistic and provide them with various nutrients in time. Some boys have a rough voice because of their poor physical condition during the growth period. At this time, they can appropriately supplement their children with some lean meat, eggs and dairy products. Do not eat spicy food or drink alcohol. In addition, they should go to bed on time and maintain a good work and rest schedule.
