Yes, hydrogen will do the same trick. As hydrogen and helium are both very light gases, the voice chords in an inhaler's voice box will vibrate at a higher frequency. Hence the cause of the high-pitched voice. Believe it or not, this happened:- A science teacher entertained his class by making his students inhale helium from a helium tank. The usual precautions were taken. The students breathed the gas from a gas mask and then had lots of fun speaking to each other sounding "like chipmunks". A kid used his cell phone to tell his absent buddy about the fun he was missing. Not wishing to miss the fun his buddies have had, that absent student showed up after recess and went straight to the helium tank. He was apparently so excited that he didn't wait or bother to ask for help. He donned the mask and turned on the gas. But it was too much pressure for him. He died of internal bleeding due to rupture of his lungs.
