The sound heard in health, when the stethoscope is placed over the larynx or trachea at the time a person speaks. The voice appears to pass immediately up to the ear of the ausculator. A similar physical sign exists when there is a cavity in the lungs, and the instrument is placed over it whilst the patient speaks. See Pectoriloquy.
