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.
A noun, the name of the sound or act of laughing.
"Barked" is a past-tense verb, of the sound that a dog made.
A monophthong is a speech sound characterized by a single, unchanging vowel sound.
A speech sound, also known as a phoneme, is a distinct unit of sound in spoken language. It is the smallest unit of sound that can differentiate meaning between words. Different languages may have different sets of speech sounds.

A syllable is a speech sound.
Speech sounds are produced by air passing through the vocal cords in the larynx, causing them to vibrate and create a sound. This sound is then modified by the movement of the articulators (tongue, lips, teeth, etc.) in the vocal tract, which shape the sound into specific speech sounds. The resonating cavities in the vocal tract further modify the sound before it is finally emitted as speech.
The initial sound made loud by the resonators is typically a voiced sound produced by the vocal cords, which resonates through the vocal tract. This resonance is shaped by the articulators, including the tongue, teeth, lips, and both the soft and hard palate, to create intelligible speech sounds. These articulators modify the airflow and sound waves, allowing for the production of distinct phonemes. In essence, they transform the basic vocal sound into recognizable speech.

It is the study of how speech sounds are made. The International Phonetic Alphabet was designed primarily for studying speech to specify each sound that can be made orally to from words. All speech sounds are divided into categories, vowels which are divided into sub categories: front, central and back vowels depending on where in the mouth the sound is produced), consonants which are divided up into: sonorants, obstruents, fricatives, affricates, sibiliants, stridents, liquids,glides, and dipthongs. Knowing all these categories and their manner and placement of articulation can help further diagnose people with speech disorders.
