'In 2012 researchers modeled the effects that the different atmospheres, pressures, and temperatures on Venus, Mars, and Saturn’s moon Titan would have on the human voice and other sounds. Setting aside the detail that on Venus a human being would be crushed and burned up almost instantaneously, the pitch of your voice would become much deeper as the vocal cords vibrated more slowly in the gassy soup of its atmosphere. However, because the speed of sound is much faster than it is on Earth, our brain would judge the speaker to be farther away. Humans on Venus, the researchers concluded, would sound like bass Smurfs.'
