The letter M makes a humming sound with the lips, but it is not a vowel sound. Vowel sounds are made with the mouth open.

The sound of a consonant M sounds like "mmm" (lips closed), followed by any of several vowel sounds, as in these words:

may

mat

mar

mare

meet

mere/mirror

met

mine

mire

mint

mow

more

mob

moon

mule *

mum

murder

*(The U picks up a YOO sound in some words, like mute and mule.)
