palatal area. The vocal cords are not vibrating.

Approximant consonants

Approximants are speech sounds that involve the articulators approaching each other but not narrowly enough or with enough articulatory precision to create turbulent airflow. Approximants fall between fricatives, which do produce a turbulent airstream, and vowels, which produce no turbulence.This class of sounds includes lateral approximants like [l] (as in less), non-lateral approximants like [ɹ] (as in rest), and semivowels like [j] and [w] (as in yes and west, respectively
