It sounds feminine to me. I predict that the truth is in the ears of the beholder, and subconscious bias will cause people to sense a more masculine or feminine voice.

I agree, perception probably plays a lot into this. It seemed mostly feminine to me but wavered a lot between what I perceive feminine and masculine voices are. This doesn't seem like the answer but I agree with whoever created this in that it would be nice to have non-gendered computer voices. My reasoning is just that I don't want to give machines a fake gender - it's something that's always bothered me. That thing is not a him nor a her.
