The voiceless bilabial fricative is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
Its manner of articulation is fricative, which means it is produced by constricting air flow through a narrow channel at the place of articulation, causing turbulence.
Its phonation type is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords.
