The enigmatic smile of Mona Lisa may always remain a mystery, but it is now possible to hear what her voice would have sounded like.

Japanese acoustics expert Dr Matsumi Suzuki measured the face and hands of Mona Lisa portrait to estimate her height and create a model of her skull. Using these details, Suzuki recreated her voice that he claims as 90% accurate.

"In Mona Lisa's case, the lower part of her face is quite wide and her chin is pointed," Suzuki explained. "The extra volume means a relatively low voice, while the pointed chin adds mid-pitch tones," he added.
