Of the 48 individual phonemes (sounds) in English, there are 25 consonant sounds – 15 voiced and 10 unvoiced. A consonant sound is voiced when the vocal cords vibrate while making it; a consonant sound is unvoiced when the vocal cords are still while making it. There is no sound, apart from the sound of air moving through the mouth, tongue, lips, and teeth.
