Note that the sonorant in (b) is longer (in relation to the preceding [z]) and the amplitude of the initial portion of the sonorant is higher than in (a).

(b) Voicing duration in tokens classified as non-syllabic, pooled across words, repetitions and speakers. Predicted voiceless fricatives have either no voicing at all (as part of the 0 to 10 ms interval) or have a tail of voicing into the fricative that is only rarely longer than 20 ms. Although tokens with voicing duration values from 0 to 20 ms also occur among predicted voiced fricatives, many tokens of predicted voiced fricatives have voicing durations that are much longer. 80–90 90–100 100–110 110–120 from 0 to 25%, although it should be noted that voicing percentage among predicted voiced fricatives is rarely lower than 5%. Furthermore, predicted voiced fricatives also have many tokens with voicing percentages
