The vocal fry register (also known as pulse register, laryngealization, pulse phonation, creaky voice, creak, croak, popcorning, glottal fry, glottal rattle, glottal scrape) is the lowest vocal register and is produced through a loose glottal closure that permits air to bubble through slowly with a popping or rattling sound of a very low frequency. During this phonation, the arytenoid cartilages in the larynx are drawn together, which causes the vocal folds to compress rather tightly and become relatively slack and compact. This process forms a large and irregularly vibrating mass within the vocal folds that produces the characteristic low popping or rattling sound when air passes through the glottal closure. The register (if well controlled) can extend far below the modal voice register, in some cases up to 8 octaves lower, such as in the case of Tim Storms who holds the world record for lowest frequency note ever produced by a human, a G−7, which is only 0.189 Hz, inaudible to the human ear.
Vocal fry is thought to have become more common among young female speakers of American English in the early 21st century, with the style of speaking being considered informal, nonaggressive and urban-oriented.
The vocal fry register has been a recognized and identifiable register in American English only within the past few decades, but its characteristic sound was recognized much earlier. Discussion of the vocal fry or pulse register began first within the field of phonetics and speech therapy and did not enter the vocabulary of vocal music pedagogists until the early 1970s, when it was initially controversial. However, controversy surrounding the term within vocal music has subsided as more research into the use of the vocal fry register within the context of singing ensued. In particular, vocal pedagogist Margaret Greene's videotaping of the physiological processes occurring in the body while singers were phonating in the vocal fry register offered solid evidence that this type of vocal phonation should be considered a vocal register from the perspectives of both speech pathology and vocal music.

In linguistics, creaky voice (sometimes called laryngealisation, pulse phonation, vocal fry, or glottal fry) refers to a low, scratchy sound that occupies the vocal range below the common vocal register. It is a special kind of phonation in which the arytenoid cartilages in the larynx are drawn together; as a result, the vocal folds are compressed rather tightly, becoming relatively slack and compact. They normally vibrate irregularly at 20–50 pulses per second, about two octaves below the frequency of modal voicing, and the airflow through the glottis is very slow.
Les cordes vocales, plus justement appelées les plis vocaux, sont un des organes musculaires de la phonation constitué de replis fermes et souples à la fois des membranes muqueuses du larynx dont la vibration produit les sons vocaux — cri, langage, chant. Au nombre de deux, les plis vocaux peuvent être complètement relâchés, écartés (comme pour la respiration libre), totalement bloqués ou en position intermédiaire de telle sorte qu'ils s'accolent, et que le flux d'air expiré les mette en vibration : cela produit le son de la voix chantée, ou tous les sons voisés du langage.
La phonation est la production des phones ou sons propres à la langue parlée. L'être humain produit un son dans son conduit vocal en chassant l'air de ses poumons (en expirant) ; cet air passe au travers des cordes vocales puis de la cavité buccale ou de la cavité nasale. Les caractéristiques sonores produites sont contrôlées par le débit d'air expiré, la tension sur les cordes vocales, et la forme du conduit vocal (langue, bouche, mâchoire). On distingue les différents sons par plusieurs caractéristiques.
In this thesis, methods and models are developed and presented aiming at the estimation, restoration and transformation of the characteristics of human speech. During a first period of the thesis, a concept was developed that allows restoring prosodic voic ...

Change in voice quality (VQ) is one of the first precursors of Parkinson's disease (PD). Specifically, impacted phonation and articulation causes the patient to have a breathy, husky-semiwhisper and hoarse voice. A goal of this paper is to characterize a V ...
