It is believed that because they can sense subtle variations in pitch and vibration that Andorian speech is soft and sibilant. This is also believed to be partially due to their language originating from music and partially due to their hearing being different from other races.

Andorians, with a higher [[MA:metabolism|metabolic rate]] than [[Human|Humans]], were especially vulnerable to [[MA:Phase pulse infection|phase pulse infection]]; even minor [[MA:phase weapon|phase]] injuries could prove fatal. However, they have demonstrated resistance to a wide range of environmental conditions. In a climate where the temperature is near the boiling point of water, an Andorian could still thrive, despite losing 10% of their body weight in two days. | Andorians, with a higher [[MA:metabolism|metabolic rate]] than [[Human|Humans]], were especially vulnerable to [[MA:Phase pulse infection|phase pulse infection]]; even minor [[MA:phase weapon|phase]] injuries could prove fatal.
