The term Vibrant ( by eng. Influence also Trill ) is called in the Phonetics a voiced consonant vibrating sound, which is formed by a rapid series of short closing and opening solution phases between articulator ( lower lip, tongue or uvula ) and the place of articulation in the vocal tract. The movement of the articulators effected by an increased air flow, that is, the articulators perform movements only passive.

It comes as a fluttering of the articulators and air turbulence between articulation organ and place of articulation. When the vibrating r- sounds we speak colloquially of a rolled r.

According to the participation of the articulator is called:

  • ( bi) labial trills ( lower lip flutters against the upper lip )
  • Apical trills ( tip of the tongue flutters against the alveolar ridge or the palate)
  • Uvular trills ( suppositories flutters against the rear tongue )

The German uvular r is usually a voiced uvular fricative ( fricative ), which is formed by a noise generating strait between uvula and tongue back. By "rolling" of this sound creates a uvular Vibrant, which is used in some German dialects.
