Abstract Attractiveness plays an important role in human daily life, such as mate selection, decision making and cooperation. Facial attractiveness and vocal attractiveness has been widely examined in psychology, sociology, anthropology etc. In this article, we reviewed the research of facial attractiveness and vocal attractiveness in the view of the framework of multiple signals. From the perspective of owner, the similar mate value and social characteristic in formation, which the attractive faces and the attractive voices convey, was illustrated by the research on sexual dimorphism, symmetry and averageness of face and voice. From the perspective of perceiver, evidence was accumulated from the studies of cognitive neuroscience which demonstrated the unified coding strategy for processing the attractive signal of both face and voice. The framework of multiple signals may provide a theoretical framework for researchers to examine the cross-channel integration of attractive signals in the future.
