Question

The voiced sounds are produced when:

• A. The vocal cords vibrate
• B. The glottis opened
• C. The air goes freely
• D. The cords are drawn wide apart

Answer 1

Answer:

A. The vocal cords vibrate

• Voiced sounds are produced when the vocal cords (vocal folds) come close together and vibrate as air passes through them.

• This vibration creates the buzzing sound we associate with voiced consonants like /b/, /d/, /g/, /v/, /z/, and all vowels.
