To determine the acoustic differences between Saudi adult male and female voices, and to compare the acoustic variables of the Multidimensional Voice Program (MDVP) obtained from North American adults to a group of Saudi males and females.
A cross-sectional survey of normal adult male and female voices was conducted at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia between March 2007 and December 2008. Ninety-five Saudi subjects sustained the vowel /a/ 6 times, and the steady state portion of 3 samples was analyzed and compared with the samples of the KayPentax normative voice database.
Significant differences were found between Saudi and North American KayPentax database groups. In the male subjects, 15 of 33 MDVP variables, and 10 of 33 variables in the female subjects were found to be significantly different from the KayPentax database.
We conclude that the acoustical differences may reflect laryngeal anatomical or tissue differences between the Saudi and the KayPentax database.
确定沙特成年男性和女性声音的声学差异,并将从北美成年人获得的多维嗓音程序(MDVP)的声学变量与一组沙特男性和女性的进行比较。
2007年3月至2008年12月期间,在沙特阿拉伯王国利雅得的阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学医院对正常成年男性和女性的声音进行了横断面调查。95名沙特受试者发元音/a/6次,分析3个样本的稳态部分,并与KayPentax标准嗓音数据库的样本进行比较。
沙特组与北美KayPentax数据库组之间存在显著差异。在男性受试者中,33个MDVP变量中的15个,以及女性受试者33个变量中的10个,被发现与KayPentax数据库有显著差异。
我们得出结论,声学差异可能反映了沙特组与KayPentax数据库之间喉部解剖结构或组织的差异。
