      Yes! Have you? It is very funny and feels weird not recognizing your own voice! 😀

      yes – I use liquid helium (very cold) in my work so we get to use the evaporating gas. We also have a helium filled model airship we fly around the lab and make liquid nitrogen ice cream (very quick to make and VERY smooth.

      Back to the question – as you would imagine it goes all high pitched and squeeky.
