Plosive speech sound (7,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

glottal stop

'plosive speech sound' is the definition.
(glottal stop is a kind of plosive speech sound)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for glottal stop that I've seen before include "Sound of mild explosion" , "Consonant sound in some languages" , "(In German) speech sound at start of some vowels" , "Phoneme of some languages (eg, Arabic)" , "Part of Cockney's speech" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
