Voiceless dental and alveolar trills are a type of consonantal sound. They differ from their cognate only by the vibrations of the vocal cord. It occurs in a few languages, usually alongside the voiced version, as a similar phoneme or an allophone.

Proto-Indo-European sr developed into a sound written as , with the letter for and the diacritic for , in Ancient Greek. It was probably a voiceless alveolar trill and became the regular word-initial allophone of in standard Attic Greek that has disappeared in Modern Greek. :*Proto-Indo-European srew- Ancient Greek ῥέω "flow", possibly
