glottal catch
A glottal catch is a type of consonantal sound used in many spoken languages. It is produced by momentarily closing the vocal cords, also known as the glottis, to block the airflow, causing a catch in the voice. This can result in a soft sound (like the pause in "uh-oh") or a hard sound (like the 'tt' in 'button' when pronounced with certain accents).
