The Cocktail effect...
I actually did this experiment with my mom and my dad. My mom was on one side and my dad was on the other side. THe were both equal distances away from me and they were talking about two differnt things. My mom talked about what was for dinner and my dad talked about what was going on for the weekend. I have to say that i actually heard what my dad was saying more than my mom because his tone was a little bit higher than hers. But then i also did not hear that my dad said he wanted me to mow the lawn but i did hear that my mom said that we were having pizza for dinner.

that is diffently not uncommon that you heard your dad as like you said his voice is deeper and louder. We tend to hear words we want to hear and that we dont want to hear like mowing the lawn and having pizza. These expierences and learnings are so interesting and true to how we learn and think.
