Plosive sound, from the larynx (7,4)

I believe the answer is:

glottal stop

(Other definitions for glottal stop that I've seen before include "(In German) speech sound at start of some vowels" , "Phoneme of some languages (eg, Arabic)" , "Sound of mild explosion" , "Part of Cockney's speech" , "Consonant sound in some languages" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
