Squeaky voice is a voice that is unusually high-pitched, thin, sharp, or makes small squeaking sounds when speaking, often described as sounding like a mouse, child, or cartoon character. It occurs when vocal cords are short, tight, or tense, producing high frequency vibrations, or when air passes through a narrow glottis. Squeaky voice can be natural due to anatomy, age, or gender, with children and some adults having naturally higher voices, or temporary due to nervousness, excitement, puberty voice cracks, illness, or inhaling helium. It is characterized by high pitch, slight breathiness, and occasional breaks or squeaks on certain words. Some people have chronically squeaky voice, others only squeak when nervous, laughing, or speaking loudly. In slang, squeaky voice can be teased as sounding immature, but it is not a medical disorder unless accompanied by pain or hoarseness. Voice training, breathing exercises, and relaxing throat can lower squeakiness. A squeaky voice is different from hoarse or deep voice, it is specifically high, thin, and prone to little eek sounds. Many find squeaky voice cute or funny, though some find it annoying.
