Answer

As long as you mean the children's voices are excited, the first one is the one you want.  The second is a correct sentence that means you are excited by the voices.  This is not what you mean, i would assume.

Exciting = describes the speakers emotional response to the voices

Excited = describes the voices

Answer

I heard the excited voices of the children playing in the yard.

Because the children's voices are excited.
