Splice out the voiced plosive “b” in theword “be” and synthesize aword with an increase in the

voice onset time of the “b.” What is the perceptual effect? Is it possible to transform the voiced

plosive “b” to the unvoiced plosive “p” with this change in the voiced onset time? Consider

attributes such as vocal cord vibration and aspiration. (In splicing, display the waveform and

spectrogram of the word “be” and use the MATLAB function ginput.m.) Optional: If your

transformed sound does not sound like a “p” then, again considering vocal cord vibration and

aspiration, make a more accurate transformation.
