Croatian to English: Akustika ljudskog glasa General field: Science Detailed field: Physics
Source text - Croatian Prozvodnja ljudskog glasa se temelji na usklađenom radu triju skupine organa, počevši sa plućima, te abdominalnim mišićima i dijafragmom, koji imaju ulogu kompresora, što znači da potlačuju zrak u plućima. Time se stvara zračna struja koja prolazi kroz drugi važni glasovni organ, a to je grkljan, koji ima mnogo mišića i hrskavica, i u njemu su smještene glasnice. Zračna struja koja dolazi iz pluća glasnice tjera na veoma brzo međusobno primicanje i odmicanje koje je vremenski jednoliko u ciklusima. To primicanje i odmicanje presijeca struju zraka u pravilnim intervalima generirajući time ton sa određenom frekvencijom. Dakle, oscilacija glasnica dovodi do fonacije. Proizvedeni ton biva nošen zračnom strujom kroz vokalni trakt (treći važan organ). Vokalni trakt čini sav prostor od glasnica do usana. Kako su stjenke vokalnog trakta pomične, tako će se vokalni trakt ponašati kao rezonator. Znači, oblikovanjem te šupljine podesit će se frekvencija same šupljine i frekvencija titranja glasnica, što dovodi do rezonancije ili zvučanja. Pored uloge rezonatora, vokalni trakt je ujedno i artikulator. Osim što omogućava da zvuk uopće čujemo, on mu također daje i njegov specifičan oblik i boju.
Translation - English The production of the human voice is based on coordinated actions of three groups of organs, beginning with the lungs, abdominal muscles and the diaphragm who act as a compressor, meaning that they raise the air pressure in the lungs. Thereby they create an airstream which passes through the second major voice organ, the larynx, filled with muscles and cartilages, inside of which the vocal cords are located. The airstream coming from the lungs forces the vocal cords into a cycle of uniformed rapid movement toward and away from each other. This to and fro motion cuts the airstream off in equal intervals, thereby generating a pitch with a specific frequency. Thus, the oscillation of the cords leads to phonation. The generated sound is travels upward through the vocal tract (third major voice organ), carried by the airstream generated in the lungs. The vocal tract is made up from the space between the vocal cords and the lips. Given the mobility of the vocal tract walls, the tract will act as a resonator. Meaning, the shaping of the cavity will adjust the frequency of the cavity to the frequency of the vocal cords' vibration, resulting in resonance, or sound. Aside from its role as a resonator, the vocal tract also acts as the articulator. Not only does it allow us to hear the sound, but it also gives it its specific quality and timbre.
