Definitions from the WebDictionary Term: Voiceless SoundDefinitionA voiceless sound refers to a sound produced without the activation of the vocal cords, resulting in the absence of any vocal vibration. In phonetics and linguistics, voiceless sounds are typically characterized by their unvoiced nature and the involvement of other articulatory mechanisms to create audible speech. ExamplesExample 1: The "p" sound in the word "pie" is a voiceless sound because it is produced by releasing air without the use of vocal cords. Example 2: In English, the letters "s," "f," and "t" often represent voiceless sounds when used at the beginning or end of words. Example 3: The word "ship" contains a voiceless sound at the beginning due to the pronunciation of the letter "sh". | ||||
