But the fricative component of the affricate in "touched" is much noisier (more turbulent) than that of the affricate in "judged". This is presumably because in devoiced lenis obstruents the vocal folds adopt the ‘whisper’ position, i.e. are narrowed, unlike the wide open position that they adopt for fortis obstruents. This reduces the flow of air and therefore reduces the amount of turbulence. SIL International. 1997. LinguaLinks Library.
