Whispering is a form of speech in which the vocal cords do not vibrate. It is usually not as loud as normal speech, but it does put stress on the vocal cords. People recovering from sore throats and other disorders that cause hoarseness in the voice should avoid whispering, as well as normal speech. [1]

St Paul's Cathedral in London has a whispering gallery. Whispering on one side can be heard on the other side.
