The Vibrator: The larynx (or voice box) sits on top of the windpipe. It contains two vocal folds (also known as vocal cords) that open during breathing and close during swallowing and voice production. When we produce voice, the airstream passes between the two vocal folds that have come together.
The sound, or phonation, is produced by a pair of vocal folds that are situated in the larnyx. The voice box can change the nature of the sounds coming out of our lungs. When we turn the larynx on it vibrates. That is, the voice box works to make the quiet sounds coming out of our lungs into loud sounds. The larynx can do this very fast. It can switch from quiet sounds to loud sounds and back again.
