The larynx consisting of vocal folds ('chords') and other parts is the source of vocal sounds. Which of the following is NOT important in terms of how vocal sounds are made: Vibration of the folds is controlled by muscle tension on them. The Bernoulli effect draws the folds together. The mass of the folds affects their opening and closing to produce sounds. Muscles connected to the folds are 'pulsed' in order to vibrate the folds. Partially closed folds produce 'back pressure' below the larynx that pushes air through them.
