What are the differences in pitch between male and female voices?

∙ 14y ago
There are four levels of pitch in music: soprano, alto, tenor, and bass. In general, men's voices are tenor and bass and women's voices are alto and soprano, although the human voice can achieve all of these pitches when trained properly.
Many singers choose to focus on one particular range. This is why, in choirs, you find professional alto singers or soprano singers.
Each human has one natural range they fall into automatically.
Men and women have different hormones. Testosterone in a man causes the vocal cords to thicken therefore vibrating at a deeper resonating sound. Women have less testosterone and more estrogen causing the vocal cords to be thinner and making a higher pitch sound. This testerone effect explains why boys sing alto or soprano before puberty.

A female what ? Compared to what ? The voice of a girl is higher than the voice of a lady. Both of their voices have higher pitch than the voice of James Earl Jones or an average whale.

What is the average pitch range of untrained human?
Human voices are roughly in the range of 80 Hz to 1100 Hz (that is, E2 to C6) for normal male and female voices together. But, considering normal speech, the voiced speech of a typical adult male will have a fundamental frequency from 85 to 180 Hz, and that of a typical adult female from 165 to 255 Hz.
Are human voices unique?
Human voices are all unique. Everyone has a different pitch of voice. Whether this is hereditary or not, I am not sure.
Which singing voice comes between a tenor and a bass?
The main thing between tenor and mezzo-soprano and tenor is the gender of the singer! Tenors are male and mezzo-sopranos are female. In terms of absolute pitch there is quite a difference too as the female voice sings generally an octave above those of men. As far as the order of voice types go, a mezzo-soprano lies between the highest general category of female voices, the soprano and the lowest, the alto. Bridging the gap between female and male voices is the counter-tenor (a male voice type) who sings in falsetto and has cross over in range with the bottom of the female range (and, in fact, much of the female range when the counter-tenor, or even, male-soprano has an extreme extension at the top). Below counter-tenor lies the tenor, the highest of the "full voice" male voice types.
