by the rapid flow of air past a narrow constriction. The resulting noise is called
aspiration if the constriction is located at the level of the vocal folds as, for ex-
ample, during the production of the sound Er. If the constriction is located above
the larynx as, for example, during the production of sounds such as ss, the result-
ing noise is called frication noise. The explosion of a plosive release also consists
primarily of frication noise.
When voicing and turbulence noise generation co-exist, as in a voiced frica-
tive such as zz or a voiced Ha, the noise is amplitude modulated periodically by
