The Lombard effect is a phenomenon in which individuals involuntarily increase their vocal efforts when they are in noisy environments. This adaptation occurs as a natural response to ambient noise, helping individuals to be heard more clearly in conversations. The effect can involve raising the volume of one's voice, altering pitch, or changing speech patterns to enhance audibility. The Lombard effect is observed not only in humans but also in various animal species, indicating a broad biological adaptation to facilitate communication amidst competing sounds.
