Sound quality-related parameters.

Computed value Physiological range (Xue et al., 2014)
F0 (Hz) 203 60–250
Qmean (mL/s) 143.43 110–220
Qmax (mL/s) 223.51 200–350
τ0 0.67 0.4–0.7
τs 1.75 1.1–3.4

F0 is the fundamental frequency; Qmean is the mean flow rate; Qmax is the maximum flow rate; τ0 is the open quotient defined as the duration of the open glottis divided by the period of the cycle; τs is skewness quotient defined as the duration of flow acceleration divided by the duration of flow deceleration.
