Gargling by Pavel Otdelnov. Gargling is the act of bubbling liquid in the mouth. It is also the washing of one's throat with a liquid (with one's head tipped back) that is kept from being swallowed by continuous exhalation. This produces a characteristic gurgling sound. Mouthwash or hydrogen peroxide (in a low concentration) is often employed.
In phonetics, ingressive sounds are sounds by which the airstream flows inward through the mouth or nose. The three types of ingressive sounds are lingual ingressive or velaric ingressive (from the tongue and the velum ), glottalic ingressive (from the glottis ), and pulmonic ingressive (from the lungs ).
Catathrenia or nocturnal groaning is a sleep-related breathing disorder, consisting of end-inspiratory apnea (breath holding) and expiratory groaning during sleep.It describes a rare condition characterized by monotonous, irregular groans while sleeping. [1]
In human speech, egressive sounds are sounds in which the air stream is created by pushing air out through the mouth or nose. The three types of egressive sounds are pulmonic egressive (from the lungs), glottalic egressive (from the glottis), and lingual (velaric) egressive (from the tongue). The opposite of an egressive sound is an ingressive ...
The word guttural literally means 'of the throat' (from Latin guttur, meaning throat), and was first used by phoneticians to describe the Hebrew glottal (א) and (ה), uvular (ח), and pharyngeal (ע). [4] The term is commonly used non-technically by English speakers to refer to sounds that subjectively appear harsh or grating.
The release is a noisy, affricate-like sound. Clicks may be oral or nasal , which means that the airflow is either restricted to the mouth, or passes through the nose as well. They are central consonants , which means they are produced by releasing the airstream at the center of the tongue, rather than at the sides.
“Like a dog's nose, people can also smell things like ‘fear’ and other non-visual hormones that can influence their thoughts, emotions and decision-making. Because of this, you can rely on ...
Prusten also involves air being exhaled through the nose at the same time as through the mouth. [3] This may represent an evolutionary shift from exclusively laryngeal vocalizations to mixed nasal and laryngeal sound production in the felid species that display the behaviour.
