  Seems reasonable but I wonder at the method used to do the study. The scientists asked the women to make voice recordings at high and low fertility periods. The participants obviously knew that the scientists were seeking correlations between fertility and voice.
  
  I would have expected the scientists to hide the nature of the study from the participants.

  It does not say they only asked them to make voice recordings at high and low points. Voice recordings and question aries could have been conducted daily or weekly and then correlated back.
  
  It is common for students unvirsity studies that are just of a questionaire and measurement style not to be informed what the study is about.

  Yeah, my ex would raise her voice during that time of the month too ... sometimes to levels that would shatter glass. Of course, I discovered this, not as a scientist, but as a guy trying to survive.
