Speech sounds, like sounds in general, are transmitted through the air as small, rapid variations in air pressure that spread in longitudinal waves from the speaker's mouth and can be heard, recorded, visualized and measured. Differences between individual speech sounds are directly reflected as differences in either one or several or all of the parameters duration, pitch, loudness and quality of the belonging speech waves.
Acoustic phonetics, which deals with the study and description of the acoustical properties of individual speech sounds, prodosy and voice quality, forms not only the immediate link between articulatory phonetics and speech perception, but is also important for applications in the fields of signal processing and speech technology.
