      {Vowel}.]
      1. Sound uttered by the mouth, especially that uttered by

            from mere breath sound as heard in f, s, sh, etc., and
            also whisper.
  
      Note: Voice, in this sense, is produced by vibration of the
               so-called vocal cords in the larynx (see Illust. of
               {Larynx}) which act upon the air, not in the manner of
               the strings of a stringed instrument, but as a pair of
               membranous tongues, or reeds, which, being continually
               forced apart by the outgoing current of breath, and
               continually brought together again by their own
               elasticity and muscular tension, break the breath
               current into a series of puffs, or pulses, sufficiently
               rapid to cause the sensation of tone. The power, or
               loudness, of such a tone depends on the force of the
               separate pulses, and this is determined by the pressure
               of the expired air, together with the resistance on the
               part of the vocal cords which is continually overcome.
               Its pitch depends on the number of a[89]rial pulses
               within a given time, that is, on the rapidity of their
               succession. See Guide to Pronunciation, [sect][sect] 5,
               146, 155.
