Humans communicate by many means. The two senses most used for communication are the visual and auditory senses. These can be stimulated by other humans by using for example hand gestures, face expressions, speech and song. This report will give a short introduction to the auditory sense and to speech generation. The text is mainly an abridgement of the books "Hearing" edited by B. C. J. Moore, and "Acoustic Phonetics" by K. N. Stevens.
