Let's think about formants

  1. Would a goat have the same formants as a human? Is this even possible? You've got my mind bending . . .

  2. I google imaged 'vocal tract of a goat' and 'goat vocal chords' and could not come up with a damn thing. apparently the acoustic resonance of a goat vocal tract is not a hot topic in research these days.

    if we discover something, we would be sooooo sweet.

  3. this is such an interesting discussion. I would assume that the vocal tract is quite different from that of a human's. Is it possible that it could make a similar sound using different formants all together? or is that just dumb?
