 In [[linguistics]], '''creaky voice''' (sometimes called '''laryngealisation''', '''pulse phonation''' or, '''vocal fry''' or '''glottal fry'''), is a special kind of [[phonation]]<ref>Titze, I. R. (2008). The human instrument. Sci.Am. 298 (1):94-101. PM 18225701</ref><ref>Titze, I.R. (1994). Principles of Voice Production, Prentice Hall, ISBN 978-0137178933.</ref> in which the [[arytenoid cartilage]]s in the [[larynx]] are drawn together; as a result, the [[vocal folds]] are compressed rather tightly, becoming relatively slack and compact. They vibrate irregularly at 20&ndash;50 pulses per second, about two octaves below the frequency of normal voicing, and the airflow through the [[glottis]] is very slow. However, although creaky voice may occur with very low pitch, as at the end of a long [[intonation unit]], it can occur with any pitch. 
 
 A slight degree of laryngealisation, occurring e.g. in some [[Korean language|Korean]] consonants is called "[[stiff voice]]".
 
 The [[Danish language|Danish]] [[Prosody (linguistics)|prosodic]] feature ''[[stød]]'' is an example of a form of laryngealisation that has a [[phoneme|phonemic]] function.
 
Creaky voice manifests itself in the [[idiolect]]s of some [[American English]] speakers, particularly at the beginnings of sentences that the speaker wishes to "soft-pedal" {{fact}}. Although this phenomenon is in general more prominent among female American English speakers than among male speakers, it is frequently adopted by older males in leadership positions in business and politics {{fact}}.
 
 It can also occur accidentally when the speaker's throat is tired, or if the speaker is sick, and tries to reach very high notes.
