The two vocal folds in the larynx are called the true vocal cords. They are responsible for producing sound through vibration when air passes through them during exhalation. The length and tension of the vocal cords can be adjusted to produce different pitches and tones.

What is the sound source of the larynx?

Sound is generated in the larynx, and that is where pitch and volume are manipulated. The strength of exhalation from the lungs can affect the volume of the sound produced. Fine manipulation of the larynx is used to generate a source sound with a particular pitch. This source sound is altered as it travels through the vocal tract, configured differently based on the position of the tongue, lips, mouth, and pharynx. The process of altering a source sound as it passes through the filter of the vocal tract creates the many different vowel and consonant sounds of the world's languages as well as tone, The larynx also has a similar function to the lungs in creating pressure differences required for sound production; a constricted larynx can be raised or lowered affecting the volume of the oral cavity. The vocal folds can be held close together so that they vibrate. The muscles attached to the arytenoid cartilages control the degree of opening. Vocal fold length and tension can be controlled by rocking the thyroid cartilage forward and backward on the cricoid cartilage by manipulating the tension of the muscles within the vocal folds, and by moving the arytenoids forward or backward. This causes the pitch produced during phonation to rise or fall. In most males the vocal folds are longer and with a greater mass than most females' vocal folds, producing a lower pitch.

Which structure is responsible for producing sound?

The Lungs pass air over the Larynx, (Vocal Chords) in the throat, which vibrates. This vibration of the air is detected as sound waves in the ear of the recipient.
