Mar 14, 2016 at 21:44 comment added Kristina Lopez I love that video and have seen it before @Mari-LouA! Thanks for providing the link. I actually thought "vocal fry" was a linguistic insult, like "Valleyspeak" until I came across it in an educational article on singing and vocal ranges. The funny thing about this question and the OP's observation of a baby making this sound is that I remember as a child playing with this sound with my friends - to see who could sound creepier! lol!

Mar 14, 2016 at 20:35 comment added Drew I believe the appropriate term in this case is "small fry vocal fry".

Mar 14, 2016 at 19:35 comment added Sean Duggan Huh. Well, yours is the best answer so far, although I was kind of wondering if there was a one-word term to indicate the sound rather than the technique. Unless it works to comment to a parent about their kid's cute vocal fry? :)
