  2. Sibilant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sibilant

    Sibilants (from Latin: sībilāns : 'hissing') are fricative consonants of higher amplitude and pitch, made by directing a stream of air with the tongue towards the teeth. [1] Examples of sibilants are the consonants at the beginning of the English words sip , zip , ship , and genre .

  3. Voiceless alveolar fricative - Wikipedia

    However, that is potentially problematic in that not all alveolar retracted sibilants are apical (see below), and not all apical alveolar sibilants are retracted. The ad hoc non-IPA symbols ṣ and S are often used in the linguistic literature even when IPA symbols are used for other sounds, [ citation needed ] but ṣ is a common transcription ...

    The IPA letter z is not normally used for dental or postalveolar sibilants in narrow transcription unless modified by a diacritic ( z̪ and z̠ respectively). The IPA symbol for the alveolar non-sibilant fricative is derived by means of diacritics ; it can be ð̠ or ɹ̝ .

    alveolo-palatal sibilant fricatives [ɕ, ʑ]. Features of the voiced alveolo-palatal fricative: Its manner of articulation is sibilant fricative, which means it is generally produced by channeling air flow along a groove in the back of the tongue up to the place of articulation, at which point it is focused against the sharp edge of the nearly clenched teeth, causing high-frequency turbulence.

    alveolo-palatal sibilant fricatives [ɕ, ʑ]. Features of the voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative: Its manner of articulation is sibilant fricative, which means it is generally produced by channeling air flow along a groove in the back of the tongue up to the place of articulation, at which point it is focused against the sharp edge of the nearly clenched teeth, causing high-frequency turbulence.

    Schematic mid-sagittal section. Features of the voiced retroflex sibilant: Its manner of articulation is sibilant fricative, which means it is generally produced by channeling air flow along a groove in the back of the tongue up to the place of articulation, at which point it is focused against the sharp edge of the nearly clenched teeth, causing high-frequency turbulence.

  8. Manner of articulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manner_of_articulation

    Sibilants are a type of fricative where the airflow is guided by a groove in the tongue toward the teeth, creating a high-pitched and very distinctive sound. These are by far the most common fricatives. Fricatives at coronal (front of tongue) places of articulation are usually, though not always, sibilants. English sibilants include /s/ and /z/.

    Equalization curve lowering the decibels of an ess frequency range for a human voice. De-essing is a dynamic audio editing process, only working when the level of the signal in the sibilant range (the ess sound) exceeds a set threshold.
