A frequency peak in the radiated spectrum of a sound. Note: Some earlier writers defined the term formant as ‘a resonance of the vocal tract.’ It is imp ortant to differentiate characteristics of the resonator’s sound transfer potential from characteristics of the radiated sound at the mouth opening, which is a result of the interaction of both the voice source and the resonator. Sound transfer potential and the radiated sound may diverge significantly in higher sung sounds where harmonics are widely spaced.[1]
