Term
How do vocal folds vibrate?
Definition
When speaking, adduct folds, increasing the subglottal pressure. This forces the folds apart, whereupon the pressure drops between them (Bernoulli Effect) and the folds are sucked back together due to this lower pressure. The net effect is a pressure wave with alternating high and low frequencies.\
Term
T/F: When modeled as a sine wave, variations in amplitude translate into differences in pitch.
Definition
\
Term
Why do men have deeper voices?
Definition
Men have more massive vocal folds. More massive vocal folds vibrate more slowly. This decreases the frequency of the sine wave, decreasing the pitch.\
Term
Sound can be produced by producing sounds at the larynx and further up the vocal tract. Explain the latter.
Definition

Term
T/F: Every sound produced at the vocal folds is changed by its passage through the vocal tract.

Definition
The larynx determines the fundamental frequency and overtones that we produce but the vocal tract as a resonator to amplify and damp frequencies. \
Term
What\'d5s the difference between whispering and normal speech?
Definition
In whispering intercartilaginous parts of the vocal folds are left open, allowing air to escape hear lots of air escaping and the lesser subglottal pressure means there\'d5s little vibration of the folds and thus little tonal quality.\
Term
What\'d5s the difference between singing and speaking?
Definition
In singing, you use greater thoracic pressure and consciously uneven breathing in conjunction with changes in your resonators.\
Term
What is falsetto?
Definition
A higher than average pitch is achieved by only allowing part of the vocal folds to vibrate (vocalis m. controls).\
Term
Why do older adults\'d5 voices change sometimes?
Definition
Normal degenerative changes in the lamina propria together with ossification of the thyroid cartilage can lead to changes in the fundamental frequency and impaired vocal control in the elderly.\
Term
Why does the voice change when you have a cold?
Definition
Edema adds mass to the folds, decreasing the pitch. It also makes for more inefficient adduction of the folds, decreasing the vocal control. A hoarse voice is also due to the inability to fully and properly close the vocal folds, allowing air to escape.\
