Detailed explanation-1: -As the body goes through puberty, the larynx grows larger and thicker. It happens in both boys and girls, but the change is more evident in boys. Girls’ voices only deepen by a couple of tones and the change is barely noticeable. Boys’ voices, however, start to get significantly deeper.
Detailed explanation-2: -Even after the change that happens in your teens, your voice continues to develop. Although the squeaking and cracking stage doesn’t last long, most guys’ voices don’t fully mature until they’re in their twenties.
Detailed explanation-3: -It’s a function of the size of your larynx, your hyaline cartilage in your trachea, and your vocal chords. These develop at different rates. By the time you’re 18, your voice will deepen. Don’t worry about it.
Detailed explanation-4: -Puts explains that men typically have deep voices as a result of high testosterone levels. High levels of this hormone cause the vocal cords to lengthen and thicken, and therefore vibrate at a lower frequency.
