A trill is a type of consonant sound produced by the rapid vibration of one articulator against another. This can involve the tongue, lips, or other parts of the mouth. In speech, a trill typically creates a distinct and rolling sound. An example of a trill is the "r" sound in some languages, like the Spanish "perro," where the tongue rapidly taps against the alveolar ridge.
