What is a "voiceless sound"?
A voiceless sound is a type of speech sound produced without the vibration of the vocal cords. When making voiceless sounds, the vocal cords remain open, allowing air to flow freely without creating sound from the vocal cords. Examples of voiceless sounds in English include the "p" sound in "pat," the "t" sound in "tap," and the "s" sound in "snake." Voiceless sounds are important in phonetics because they contribute to the variety of speech sounds and play a crucial role in distinguishing words and their meanings in language.
