The video tutorial explains why women have shriller voices than men by discussing the concept of frequency. It uses a scenario where a door opens only with a woman's voice to illustrate the difference. Frequency is defined as the number of vibrations per second, with higher frequency resulting in a shriller sound. The tutorial further explains that the length of vocal cords affects frequency, with women's shorter vocal cords vibrating more per second, thus producing higher frequency sounds compared to men's longer vocal cords.
