There is e.g. the hearty laugh, which is excessively low in pitch, and perceived as incredibly dominant and may largely be motivated by showing off one's clarity, depth and loudness of voice which men use as means of intimidation, but which is likely also under [[beauty|aesthetic sexual selection]].
