“Psycho commercials” has the wrong video. 🙂
Fixed, Dave. Thanks.
I think the guy in the “sniffing gas” video doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He says the heavy gas doesn’t change your voice, it just filters out the high frequencies. And I suppose helium doesn’t change your voice, it filters out the low frequencies? I don’t buy it.
Your vocal cords work by vibrating, like a guitar string. The faster they vibrate, the higher the pitch. The slower they vibrate, the lower the pitch. Helium, being very light, allows the cords to vibrate fast, so your voice goes up. The heavy gas, being dense, slows down your cords so they vibrate slower, makeing your voice lower. Did you hear how deep their voices were? I don’t think that’s the result of a low-pass filter.
