The main reason for men's voices being lower than women's voices is that men typically have larger larynxes and longer vocal folds than women. This results in a lower pitch when they speak or sing. Additionally, male hormones such as testosterone during puberty can cause the larynx to grow and the vocal folds to thicken, further lowering the pitch of the voice.
