Saul is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. See how you translated the similar phrase in 24:16. Alternate translation: [I recognize your voice, my son David!]

Saul is using the term voice to represent the person who is speaking. See how you translated the similar phrase in 24:16. Alternate translation: [Is it you speaking to me, my son David?] or [I recognize that it is you speaking to me, my son David!]

בְּנִ֣י דָוִ֑ד
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_recognized Shāʼūl/(Saul) DOM sound/voice Dāvid's and=he/it_said ?,voice_of,your this my_son_of,my Dāvid and=he/it_said Dāvid my=sound/voice my=master the,king )
In the similar episode in 24:16, Saul seemed to be using this same expression to reaffirm David as his own son-in-law, after he had been referring to him dismissively as “the son of Jesse.” By this point, however, Saul has repudiated David as his son-in-law by giving his daughter Michal to another man (25:44.) So here my son is probably a term of endearment rather than a kinship term. Alternate translation: [my dear David]

my=sound/voice
David is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [It is my voice] or [I am the one speaking]

OET (OET-RV) Then Sha’ul recognised David’s voice and called back, “Is that your voice, my son David?”
¶ “Yes, it is my voice, my master the king.” David replied.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
