Sound sample 

The alveolar trill is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents dental, alveolar, and postalveolar trills is r, and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is r. It is informally called the rolling R or rolled R. Quite often, this symbol is used in phonemic transcriptions (especially those found in dictionaries) of languages like English and German that have rhotic consonants that are not an alveolar trill. This is partly due to ease of typesetting and partly because <r> is often the symbol used for the orthographies of such languages.

In the majority of Indo-European languages this sound is at least occasionally allophonic with an alveolar tap [ɾ], particularly in unstressed positions. Exceptions to this include Spanish and Albanian, which treat them as separate phonemes.

Raised alveolar non-sonorant trill

There is a phone (different from [r]) which is exclusively used in Czech (in words such as rybáři 'fishermen'). Its manner of articulation is similar but the tongue is raised; it is partially fricative. It is orthographically represented by the letter <ř>, and in IPA as <r̝>. The basic manner of pronunciation is voiced but there is also a voiceless allophone [r̝˚]. Look up phone in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

Alveolar tap - The Encyclopedia (368 words)
The alveolar tap or flap is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
Its manner of articulation is tap or flap, which means it is produced with a single contraction of the muscles so that one articulator briefly strikes the other.
Its place of articulation is alveolar which means it is articulated with the tip of the tongue against the alveolar ridge.
Spartanburg SC | GoUpstate.com | Spartanburg Herald-Journal (1655 words)
In older Portuguese, these were the alveolar flap (which occurred at the end of syllables) and the alveolar trill (which occurred at syllable onset), like in Spanish.
In Belgium, the usual rhotic is an alveolar trill, but the uvular rhotic does occur, mostly in the province of Limburg, in the region around Ghent and in Brussels.
However, the rhotic used in Denmark proper is a voiced pharyngeal fricative, and the Swedish region of Skåne a uvular trill for a rhotic.
