Kepler-97 c
Kepler-97 c is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 1,308 ly from Earth in the constellation Cygnus, discovered in 2014 by W. M. Keck Observatory.
Radial Velocity: spotted by the gravitational wobble the planet tugs in its star.
Bathing the surface in warm white light. A year here lasts 2.2 Earth years.
What these mean: surface gravity · tidal locking · equilibrium temperature

Your voice would sound much as it does on Earth.
We do not yet have a temperature for this world, and its atmosphere is unknown, so its acoustics cannot be modelled. In Earth-like air a human voice carries as you know it, and without the temperature that is as far as the physics will take us.
