subphonism
Subphonism refers to the existence or study of acoustic qualities and vocal sounds that occur below the level of the distinct, recognizable phoneme. It describes the subtle auditory textures and micro-sounds that characterize a speaker's voice or a specific dialect without necessarily altering the linguistic meaning of the words.
