i’ve been doing some research because i was bored and now im wondering, first i thought it was the same as when you swallow (epiglottis or smth), but i cant find many places where it says that so i was looking for other sources but found none. I honestly dont know anything about biology other than when I was bored and wondered about things (like ears and the nose). If you have a picture of the thing then please show me (if possible) and try to not use too many complicated phrases, a five year old doesnt understand them and neither do i.

Do you mean like when you sing? Your vocal cords (the bits in your throat that vibrate when you hum) are mostly a skin fold with a bit of muscle tissue inside, and they are attached to some cartilage which is attached to more muscles (like the cricoarytenoid, transvers and oblique arytenoid, or cricothyroid muscles to name a few). All together they move the individual units that form the larynx, so when you exhale and those muscles make the vocal folds move, it produces a sound.
