    Well, the only place I know of where you could hear it is Innsmouth, Massachusetts. Look up a guy name Zadok Allen.

    Ok, I'm kidding. But do you know of any videos or sound files where it is pronounced? Your description piqued my interest.

    look up any speech in arabic-its a common sound, and very conspiquous. If you want an isolated example, I'm afraid you're out of luck.

    Just curious Ibrahim, where are you from? Clearly arabic of some sort. But there are a few countries in that part of the world. You might even live somewhere else and just be of arabic decent.

    Its just an obsession of mine, knowing where people come from.

    First guess, Qatar?
    Yemen maybe? hmm.

    nope, 1/2 palestinian arab, 1/2 Ohioan. but I was born and raised in Kuwait. (I'm not a Kuwaiti citizen btw. you have to be "of the blood")

    no I was never in the UAE, Or Qatar, or Yemen (Kuwait, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia so far). the only reason I can communicate with that UAE guy in the frontroom is because khaleeji arabic (UAE< Kuwait, Qatar) and south levantine arabic (palestinian authority, Jordan) are closely related dialects, and mutually inteligeable. I can understand people from Sudan to Iran (there are arabs in Iran-Khuzestanis)

    I probably know what sound "3" is. It's a gutural "h"-like, I knew it when I had to study Arabic. Closest thing I can form out of it is probably the sound of a hissing cat ().

    Its that throaty sound right? Sort of like a half swallowed sound? Less like a hissing cat and more like a dying frog perhaps?
