specific traits. The test data set achieved 96.74% specan function by the WarbleR R package [11]. A specan
function measures 22 acoustic parameters on acoustic signals.

I. INTRODUCTION Acoustic Properties
the acoustic analysis depends on the parameter settings of the
voice depending on the characteristics of the sample, such as Properties Description
Intensity, Duration, Frequency and Filtering [1]. Using the
duration length of signal
acoustic properties of voice and speech, it is possible to determine
the gender of the speaker. The acoustic analysis can be performed
using the warbler r package. The data set that has acoustic meanfreq mean frequency (in kHz)
characteristics can be extracted using this analysis. This data set
can also be trained with various machine learning algorithms, and sd standard deviation of frequency
in this paper, we have used MLP to obtain the model. We have
compared the results with related work, and created a web page to median median frequency (in kHz)
find out the gender of the voice by using the obtained model.
