Meaning

Hi friends,
What kind of voice is "musky voice"?

“Maybe she’s ugly. Ugly ugly ugly, he repeats like a charm, trying to exorcise her—her and her maddening bubble-gum lipstick smell and her musky voice, a voice he’s never heard”

Thanks

Musky refers to a smell, not a quality of sound. Musk is a heady, sweet smell used in perfumes. It has been rumored since ancient times that musk odor works as an excellent aphrodisiac. http://www.fragrantica.com/notes/Musk-4.html

So, just use your imagination.
