Your vocal folds (also called the ventricular folds) are toward the top of your larynyx, protecting your vocal chords. These folds help prevent you from breathing in solids. A very interesting effect is produced when you sing and you get these folds to vibrate. They will vibrate at half the speed of your vocal chords, and produce a sound an octave lower than the note you are singing with your vocal chords. This sounds much like a foghorn or a prolonged burp. The people most noted for producing this effect, theTuvans, call this effect kargyraa.

the inferior or lower vocal folds are the true vocal cords...
the vocal chords are located in the larynx. Another name for the larynx is the voice box, and inside it are the vocal chords. Vocal chords are thin bands of tissue that vibrate when exhaled air rushes past them; this enables you to make sounds when you speak or sing. Dr.henzworth
