Summary

This quote describes a person's voice sounding disinterested and unengaged, comparable to someone talking to an inanimate object like a tree. The speaker perceives the lack of enthusiasm in the person's tone, suggesting they may be uninterested or disregarding the conversation at hand. The comparison to talking to a tree further emphasizes the absence of genuine interest, as trees cannot actively engage in conversation or express emotions.
