	Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Sibilant consonant
		A sibilant is a type of fricative, made by speeding up air through a narrow channel and directing it over the sharp edge of the teeth.
		Sibilants are louder than their non-sibilant counterparts, and most of their acoustic energy (the frication, in the case of fricatives) occurs at higher frequences than non-sibilant fricatives.
		Thus, distinguishing between sibilants and non-sibilants is extremely important in English.
