The larynx produce sounds with the vocal cords. Difference between a voiceless sound and the other type of sounds. Constriction of the air stream; difference between consonant/vowel. Bilabial; two lips - there are 3 bilabial consonants (consonants where we can strip the air from the lips) Voiceless means there"s no vibration in the larynx. Approximants are special consonants because they"re halfway between vowels and consonants.
