A voiced sound is a type of speech sound produced when the vocal cords vibrate during articulation. This vibration occurs as air passes through the closed vocal cords, creating sound. In contrast to voiceless sounds, where the vocal cords do not vibrate, voiced sounds have a distinct quality. Examples of voiced sounds in English include the "b" sound in "bat," the "d" sound in "dog," and the "z" sound in "zebra." Voiced sounds are important in phonetics because they contribute to the variety of speech sounds and help distinguish meaning between words in a language.
