To quote the Beach Boys, it's all about "good vibrations". About how many times per second do a soprano's vocal cords vibrate when she's belting out a "high C"?

As described by Mental Floss: "The vibration of your vocal cords being 'blown' apart and then 'sucked' back together repeats hundreds and even thousands of times per second, producing voice. So about 1000 vibrations per second would produce that distinct high C in the soprano range."
