语音是由气流激励声道从嘴唇或鼻孔辐射出来而产生的。根据声带是否振动，发音可分为浊音和清音。浊音和清音有明显的区别，浊音具有周期信号的特征，而清音则具有随机噪声的特征；浊音在频域上具有共振峰结构，其能量主要集中在低频带，清音的振幅值相对较小，在时域和频域没有明显的规律性。清音和浊音的正确判断在语音识别、语音合成、语音编码中具有重要作用。传统的清浊音区分方法有：短时能量法、短时自相关函数法和过零点法等。由于实际语音常有连读以及单音素发音过短的情况，现有的清浊音判断方法也会出现判断不准确的情况。
程序运行环境为MATLAB R2021B，为基于瞬时频率的语言信号清/浊音判决和高音检测，部分代码如下：
