Ilmuwan menemukan vocal fry lebih umum terjadi pada pria

Penelitian baru menantang keyakinan umum bahwa vocal fry adalah ciri bicara yang sebagian besar ditemukan pada perempuan muda. Analisis akustik dan tes pendengaran menunjukkan bahwa kualitas suara yang serak ini lebih sering terjadi pada pria dan meningkat seiring bertambahnya usia.

Jeanne Brown dari McGill University memimpin studi tersebut setelah mengumpulkan sampel ucapan dari 49 orang dewasa Kanada secara daring. Para peneliti mengukur penanda akustik seperti ketidakteraturan dalam frekuensi dasar dan napas, yang mengungkapkan tingkat vocal fry yang lebih tinggi di kalangan penutur pria. Sifat serak ini juga meningkat secara stabil seiring bertambahnya usia penutur, yang membantah stereotip yang mengaitkan ciri tersebut dengan kaum muda dan feminitas.

Small speech timing habits—such as silent pauses, “um” and “uh,” and difficulty finding words—were associated with performance on standard executive-function tests in a study by researchers at Baycrest, the University of Toronto and York University.

A small controlled experiment reported in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience found that exposure to infrasound—ultra-low-frequency vibration below the range of human hearing—was associated with higher salivary cortisol and more negative mood ratings, even though participants could not reliably detect when the infrasound was present.

A study by researchers at Tufts University reveals that some Samoyeds alter the pitch of their howls in response to changes in music, suggesting an inherited vocal ability from wolf ancestors. The findings, published in Current Biology, indicate dogs can perceive and adapt to pitch without vocal learning. This may shed light on the evolutionary origins of human musicality.
