  Voiced uvular plosive
The voiced uvular plosive is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
Its manner of articulation is plosive or stop, which means it is produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract.
Its place of articulation is uvular which means it is articulated with the back of the tongue (the dorsum) against or near the uvula.

 Uvular consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Uvulars are consonants articulated with the back of the tongue against or near the uvula, that is, further back in the mouth than velar consonants.
They may be plosives, fricatives, nasal stops, trills, or approximants, though the IPA does not provide a separate symbol for the approximant, and the symbol for the voiced fricative is used instead.
The voiced uvular fricative [ʁ] is common in northern Europe: it is found in many French dialects as the usual value of the letter R. It also occurs in several Germanic languages to varying extents.

A stop, plosive, or occlusive is a consonant sound produced by stopping the airflow in the vocal tract.
Voiced stops have a negative voice onset time, meaning the voicing begins before the stop is released.
Aspirated stops have a voice onset time greater than zero, so that there is a period of voiceless airflow (a phonetic [h]) before the onset of the vowel.

 Uvular consonant - Definition, explanation
Uvulars are consonants articulated with the back of the tongue against or near the uvula, that is, further back in the mouth than velar consonants.
The voiceless uvular plosive is expressed as in most transliteration schemes, including the IPA and SAMPA, and is pronounced similarly to the voiceless velar plosive, but with the middle of one's tongue against the soft uvula rather than the velum.
The voiced uvular fricative is much more common in northern Europe: it is found in many French dialects as the usual value of the letter R. Portuguese uses it as a trill.

fricative) is voiced in the former and voiceless in the latter.
If the plosive is the first phone pronounced, then there is no attack: if the plosive is voiced, it starts with a vibration of the vocal cords, and if it is voiceless it simply starts with the release.
The release is usually the most audible part of the plosive, and it is for this reason that final plosives tend to vanish, especially voiceless ones (their release is suppressed, and then the entire plosive is reduced to very little).
