The highest is during ovulation, when the body releases an egg for fertilization. The lowest is during a woman's period.
The men had a 25% chance of guessing which recordings were made during menstruation. But they chose correctly at least 34% of the time.
Finally, one group of men simply listened to the recordings. They were asked to choose the voice they found most unattractive. Again, 34%  of the time they chose the so-called menstrual voice.
Nathan Pipitone of Adams State College in Colorado led the study, published in the journal Ethology. He points out that in other primates, it is often easy to recognize when females are most fertile. But in humans the effects of hormonal changes are often difficult to recognize.
Dr. Pipitone says evolution may have reduced the effects in humans in order to support relationships with just one partner.
"I think this reflects the shift in the minimization of these cues across the menstrual cycle to lead to one of our most prominent mating strategies -- monogamy. Having drastic shifts in  female attitudes and behaviors and perceptions of females across the menstrual cycle does not bode well for a pair-bonding relationship."大约200名大学适龄男性参与了此项调查。十名年轻女性分别提供了其周期的四个时间点的声音录音。其中包含生殖力最强和最弱的时间。最强的时间是身体为受孕而释放卵子的排卵期。最弱的时间是女性的经期。
这些男性有四分之一的机会猜中哪段是录自经期的录音。但是他们的猜中率至少有34%。
最后，研究人员要求一组男性简单地听一遍录音之后选出最不具吸引力的声音。他们选出所谓经期声音的正确率又一次达到34%。
科罗拉多州的亚当斯州立大学的内森·皮皮托内领导了此项研究，研究结果发表在《动物行为学》杂志上。他指出，在其他的灵长类动物中很容易分辨出雌性动物的发情期。但是人类的荷尔蒙变化效果通常难以分辨。
皮皮托内博士称，为了支持单一的伴侣关系，人类的进化可能已经削弱了这方面的影响。
“我认为，这反映了整个月经周期中荷尔蒙变化对行为影响的最小化事实产生了我们非常重要的一个交配策略，一夫一妻制。女性态度和行为的剧烈变化和对女性月经周期的感知对夫妻关系不利。”
