HIGH T VOICE.← BACK TO THE TEST

WHAT “HIGH-T” MEANS HERE

“High-T” is short for “high testosterone.” Here, it names a deep, full, commanding voice vibe: the style this game rewards, not a hormone level.

A 2020 study of 160 men linked lower voice pitch with perceived dominance, while its findings about testosterone depended on cortisol levels. That research did not validate this game or its scoring formula.

INPUT

The test samples a seven-second live microphone stream while you read one fixed sentence. The stream is processed by the Web Audio API in your browser; no recording file is created. Very quiet frames and pitch estimates outside the expected 70–280 Hz analysis range are rejected.

After an attempt, a local chart summarizes microphone input in 0.2-second windows. Bright bars mark windows with a detected pitch; empty windows were not sampled. Heights are relative to that attempt. This is an input summary, not an audio recording; it is discarded when you start again or leave.

THE FOUR GAMEPLAY FEATURES

  1. Depth, 38%: primarily derived from median fundamental frequency.
  2. Resonance, 26%: a rough high-frequency-content proxy, not a clinical formant analysis.
  3. Weight, 18%: a normalized signal-energy proxy affected by microphone distance and gain.
  4. Control, 18%: pitch stability across accepted frames.

The weighted score is clamped to 31–97. The gameplay weights are unchanged from V4. V5 removes the age selector because age was not part of the calculation.

Slower delivery can make the detected pitch steadier and raise Control, but speaking speed itself is not measured. The score describes this delivery under these microphone conditions, not a permanent personal trait.

On September 11, 2026, pitch detection was corrected to reduce errors where a repeated waveform period made a voice appear much lower. Results from before that correction may differ; they are not a comparable baseline. This correction does not establish accuracy on all voices or devices.

On September 22, 2026, analysis moved to a fixed 75 ms schedule to catch more short speech fragments. Missed slots are skipped, not filled with repeated samples. At least four accepted pitch frames spanning 450 ms are still needed; the volume threshold and score weights are unchanged. Scores can differ because different parts of the delivery are sampled. Earlier local runs remain viewable separately and are excluded from new best-score and last-run comparisons.

THE FOUR VOICE TIERS

Your Voice T Score places this run in one of four tiers:

  1. HIGH FREQUENCY: under 63 points.
  2. STEADY SIGNAL: 63–74 points.
  3. BROADCAST BARITONE: 75–85 points.
  4. DEEP CUT: 86+ points.

The next-tier gap is the number of points between this run and the next threshold. At 86 or more, you have reached the top tier for that run. A new attempt can land in a different tier; titles do not stay unlocked between recordings.

Names such as Broadcast Baritone are game titles, not singing voice classifications. Demo shows a preset tier so you can preview the result without using your microphone.

A GAME SCORE, NOT A RANKING

V5 shows one acoustic game score and a playful voice-type label. Older versions displayed a mathematical percentile mapping; it was not measured against other people and has been removed. The formula has not been calibrated against a representative population or listener panel.

THE HARD LIMIT

Correlation does not make an individual voice recording a blood test. Adult voice is also shaped by anatomy, puberty, age, learned behavior, language, illness, recording conditions and deliberate vocal technique. High T Voice therefore makes no claim about current testosterone, medication use, fertility or health.

BETTER PERSONAL COMPARISONS

For a more useful runback, use the same device, room, sentence, distance and time of day. Personal trends under controlled conditions are more defensible than comparing absolute scores across different hardware.
