A speech sound in which the oral and pharyngeal cavities are not constricted enough to cause audible friction. Tone color categories used in speech, primarily created by the tone colors of the harmonics being featured by the first two resonances of the vocal tract and radiated as the first two formants. V owel intelligibility is reduced at high fundamental frequencies because harmonics of the source, being widely spaced, do not adequately populate and energize the first two vocal tract resonances.[1]
