Voice (phonetics)

In phonetics, voice is a quality of certain sounds. A voiced sound is one produced with resonance of the vocal cords; these are used in the pronunciation of vowels and certain consonants. Those without are termed voiceless or unvoiced.

In English they tend to go in pairs, for example t and d, b and p.
