At the upper end of the trachea is the larynx. Sounds are produced when air is forced past two ligaments - the vocal cords - that stretch across the larynx. The pitch and volume of the sound produced varies with the amount of tension on the vocal cords and on the amount of air being forced past them,.

How are speech sounds produced?
vocal chords
Are all vowel sounds voiced?
No, not all vowel sounds are voiced. Vowel sounds can be either voiced or voiceless depending on the position of the vocal cords during articulation. Voiced vowel sounds are produced with vibration of the vocal cords, while voiceless vowel sounds are produced without vibration of the vocal cords.
Are vocal sounds mechanical waves?
Yes, vocal sounds are produced by vibrations of the vocal cords, creating mechanical waves that travel through the air and are heard as sound by our ears.
What are the consunants sounds?
Consonant sounds are produced when airflow is restricted in some way as it passes through the vocal tract. This can involve the use of the lips, tongue, teeth, or other parts of the mouth to create various sounds. Consonant sounds contrast with vowel sounds, which are produced with an open vocal tract.
How do you produce the sounds of alphabets?
The sounds are produced with the mouth (lips, tongue, teeth, palate, vocal cords, etc.)
Differences between voiced and voiceless sound?
Voiced sounds are produced when the vocal cords vibrate, creating a buzzing or humming quality. Voiceless sounds are produced without the vibration of the vocal cords, resulting in a quieter and more breathy sound. Examples of voiced sounds include /b/, /z/, and /g/, while examples of voiceless sounds include /p/, /s/, and /k/.
What and what are there in the counsanant sound?
Consonant sounds are speech sounds produced by obstructing the airflow in the vocal tract. They are characterized by the presence of a constriction or closure in the vocal tract, which differentiates them from vowel sounds. Examples of consonant sounds include /b/, /t/, /s/, and /m/.
What is the difference between voiced and voiceless sounds?
The vocal cords are vibrating with a voiced sound, with a voiceless sound the vocal cords are not vibrating. In the word - game - the 'g' is voiced. In the word - came - the 'c' is not voiced
Are vocal sounds mechanical or electromagnetic?
Vocal sounds are mechanical in nature. They are produced by the vibration of vocal cords in the larynx and then propagated through the air as sound waves. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, are a different type of wave that includes light and radio waves.
How speech sounds made?
Speech sounds are made by the vibrations of air forced through the vocal chords, tongue and lips. For this reason languages can have distinct sounds depending on how the sounds are produced.
What are ejective sounds and how do they differ from other types of sounds in human speech?
Ejective sounds are a type of consonant sound produced by a burst of air trapped between the vocal cords. They differ from other sounds in human speech because they are created by a sudden release of air pressure in the vocal tract, rather than by the vibration of the vocal cords or the flow of air through a constriction in the vocal tract.
How is each sounds produced?
Sounds are produced when air is pushed out from the lungs through the vocal cords, causing them to vibrate and create different frequencies. The vibration of the vocal cords then resonates in the throat, mouth, and nasal cavities, which shapes the sound into different tones and pitches. The movements of the tongue, lips, and jaw further modify the sound to produce different speech sounds.
