    Sound in human body  is produced by larynx , it is an organ in the neck which controls the pitch and volume of sound and also blocks food to go through trachea . 

Larynx is known as the voice box. It is located at the upper end of the windpipe. The vocal cords stretch the larynx in such a way that a passage is created between them. When air passes through this passage the vocal cords vibrate and produce sound.

When we talk, vibrations are produced in our vocal cord. When we touch our throat we can feel the vibrations.

Wavelength, being a quantity of dimension of length, is expressed in $A^0$, i.e., angstroms.
