>Is this why women tend to have higher voices than men?

>I'm not quite sure, but I believe it has something to do with it. It would make sense, seeing as with a musical instrument, the further the air travels, the lower the note produced is. I suspect this is the same for the voice box.

Not in this case, Jazz. A woman's voicebox is smaller, so the vocal cords are shorter. The shorter the vibrating sound producer, the higher the pitch produced. Try this on a violin or a guitar. Stop the string closer to the bridge and vibrate it. It will have a higher pitch.
