In addition to phonation, which comes from the larynx, we can generate a couple of other types of sound in the SLVT. We have already mentioned the explosive pop that occurs on the release of /t/. Known as a plosive burst, it is produced by building up air pressure behind a blockage and then abruptly releasing it. We can also generate continuous noise in the SLVT by creating a small passageway at one of several locations. When air moves through a constriction of this type, turbulence results and noise is produced. If you observe your mouth while sustaining the /f/ sound at the beginning of fee, you'll see the constriction between the upper teeth and the lower lip.
