Larynx is the technical word for the voice box in your throat. It is part of the air way, and it helps you make sounds when you talk or sing.

The larynx has vocal cords that vibrate when you breathe out. It also helps protect your windpipe by closing when you swallow. The larynx is found in the front of the neck, between the mouth and the trachea. In some people, it makes a visible bump called the Adam's apple.
