    Linked via "burst spectrum"

    Acoustical Properties and Perception
    The acoustic signature of click consonants is dominated by a burst spectrum characterized by high-frequency energy concentrations, typically ranging between 2,000 Hz and 6,000 Hz, depending on the degree of lip rounding employed during closure. This high spectral energy contributes to their prominence in the acoustic signal, which explains their frequent survival across long distances in environments with high auditory masking [4].
    The perception of clicks is closely t…
