This has been described in different historical documents which report that the vox humana in some organs sounded like human vowels. In this study, tones of four different voces humanae were recorded to investigate their similarity to human vowels. The acoustical and perceptual analysis revealed that some, though not all, tones show a high similarity to selected vowels.
