we also find that those sounds relate to one another in various ways

for example, if we consider the <t> in the word <top> and in the word <stop>, we can determine acoustically (via the waveforms/spectrograms) and physically by feel, that these are different sounds

but you, as an english speaker, perceive them and treat them as the same sound

to see that they're different, place your hand in front of your mouth and say "top top top top top" then say "stop stop stop stop stop"

you should feel a stronger puff of air for "top" than "stop"
