Built In Play Buttons for Variations in Laryngeal Setting?

It would be very nice to have sound samples for not just separate phonemes, but also for variations in laryngeal setting. It's kind of hard to judge from text alone what's the acoustic difference between breathy and slack phonation, for example, or what does stiff voice actually sound like. These could feature the same segment spoken in each laryngeal setting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.237.127.17 (talk) 19:17, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Write an article that readers can understand?

In order to get anything from reading this article, you need to know so much about the subject already that you really don't need to read this this article. PiCo (talk) 06:14, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

I too found this article extremely difficult to follow. I feel like almost every word needs to be read. As the overview of the field I feel it should be more digestible. Jnfrank (talk) 16:51, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Neurochronaxic theory

Does this article really need to have a section on neurochronaxic theory? It was discredited at least 50 years ago. It's a bit like having a section on flat-earth theory in a geography article. RoachPeter (talk) 12:00, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

If nobody wants to defend it, I'll delete it. RoachPeter (talk) 08:18, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Banner photos of vocal fokds

Reading this (on the mobile app) quite prominently features the top picture of vocal folds, which I find to be a bit offputting. Perhaps they don't need to be featured quite as prominently (I.e., they perhaps don't need to be a banner above the article.) Jnfrank (talk) 16:54, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

hovering over link shows israeli flag?

dont know how to fix it but just making people aware 104.148.141.169 (talk) 21:11, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

I've purged the cache so it should be fixed now. Nardog (talk) 02:11, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Units?

The minimum pressure drop required to achieve phonation is called the phonation threshold pressure (PTP),[1][2] and for humans with normal vocal folds, it is approximately 2–3 cm.

Pressure is not measured in centimeters! What is the correct unit for the value represented here? 207.180.169.36 (talk) 03:25, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
