Since it is not permissible to make pictures in any way because it amounts to imitating the creation of Allah Ta'ala, will this prohibition also apply

Answer

The laws and rules of the Shariah are not the products of our logic and opinion. They are the effects of Allah's Command. It is permissible to record voices and to draw pictures of inanimate objects. Although trees and mountains are also the creation of Allah Ta'ala, nevertheless, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) explicitly allowed drawing pictures of inanimate objects. Since the Shariah explicitly allows pictures of other aspects of Allah's creation, the prohibition may not be extended to voices, and other aspects of Allah's creation.
