Every voice has a distinct sound. Sound is a 'disturbance' in the air. Everything produces different kinds of disturbances. The disturbances alternate between pressure waves of high density and pressure waves of low density (cycle of disturbances). The existence of sound is not dependent upon man hearing sound. the distinctiveness of sound is dependent upon its frequency, amplitude, and pitch. A change in any of the three produces a different sound.
Frequency
The frequency of sound is related to the number of 'cycles of disturbances' within a certain amount of time. High frequency refers to a high number of cycles and low frequency refers to a low number of cycles. Every object that makes a sound produces a certain frequency. There is a range whereby humans are generally able to hear sound.. There are some frequencies that may be too high or too low for the average human hearing.
The frequency may be liken unto the impact of God's voice. There is a range whereby humans may not 'hear' or understand the voice of God. the impact of the voice of God may be too 'high' or 'low' for human comprehension. God always speaks so that man can understand him. God does not speak too fast or slow. However, God may bless some people with ability to 'hear' or understand many things others even in the household of faith may not understand. This does not exalt the person. Everyone understands at different rate. God gives the ability and He gives it to whosoever He wants to give it unto and man cannot do anything about it.
"The Doppler Effect"
Sometimes it seems as though sound is getting louder as you move towards it. What is happening is that the number of frequencies has not changed but more of the frequencies (cycles) are transmitted to your ear. As you become more intimate with God it may seem that God speaks to you louder, more distinctively, more forcibly. God does not change. what happens is the more we know God the more distinctively we 'hear' him.
Amplitude
The amplitue of sound represents the distance from an area of high/low density to neutral zone (zone that represents the baseline/starting point before creation of 'disturbance'. It is the 'loudness' or 'softness' of sound. The amplitude may be liken unto the manner in which God speaks unto man. God speaks forcibly and tenderly unto man.
Pitch
The pitch of sound represents the 'highness' or 'lowness' of the sound. It is caused by the tightening/loosening of the vocal cords. Biological maturity is a factor in determination of pitch. Serious damage to vocal cords could occur if an individual tries to attain a pitch before biologically mature. The ptch of sound may be liken to what God speaks to man. God speaks in a high pitch unto 'babes in Christ' and deep pitch unto more mature 'children in Christ'.

"Sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them
out. And when he putteth
forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they
know his voice. And a stranger will they
not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers." --- John 10:3-5
Man should seek to know the voice of God. When you know the voice of God you will not be deceived. A child knows his father's voice. A child responds to the voice of his father not to someone who tries to imitate or mock his father's voice by altering the frequency, amplitude, or pitch. A son of God not only identifies an individual as having knowledge and adoption of His character, but it identifies the individual as someone who knows the voice of the father.
The soul's adversary wants to hinder man from hearing the voice of God. The soul's adversary cannot stop God from speaking to man. God is in control. A 'microphone' may be provided for a person whom God uses to speak through. The 'microphone' may be boldness, fame, prestige, or influence.
Lord God --- "We Need To Hear From You"
