Definitely not, signature whistles differ between the sexes of dolphins. Female dolphins generally develop whistles very different from their mothers, while male dolphin signature whistles tend to be very similar to that of the mother. This relates to social behavior, as dolphin groups are typically formed of females with their young, sometimes spanning several generations. If females had signature whistles very similar to their mothers, the members of the group would have difficulty distinguishing between the two. Males, on the other hand, leave their natal group when they mature and form juvenile groups, which may also contain juvenile females in some species.
Baboons give distinct calls of alarm, called "wahoos", when sighting predators. Males exhibited lower frequency characteristics and a longer call duration than females. Similar individual differences have been documented for a variety of other baboon vocalizations, including female grunts Owren et al., 1997 and alarm barks.
Plainfin midshipman fish have very different voices. Males vocalize for hours under rocks to attract females. While females are able to grunt. Gender-typical vocal behaviors are regulated by brain neurochemicals.

Dogs do sound different. Female Airedales make a wo wo wo a wo sound that is quite shrill and weirdly plaintive at the same time whereas male one make a rougher raspier sound more like wock wock wock a wocka wocka. I know that sounds weird but I have had dogs (Airedales) for an awful long time and even when we've had a ***** and a Dog at the same time often and we could always tell which sex the sound was. This wasn't because of their different voices because when we've been to breeders house we can always tell which sex an animal was from the sound. I think this must be the case for a number of species.

Sexual dimorphism usually occurs only in the higher mammals.
