This happens to me mostly on words that start with A,I,M,R, and Y. Something I end up doing, kind of automatically, is swallowing and that flexes the muscles in my throat. Then as those muscles rebound I time my breathing to hit a window that allows the sound. I don’t know how helpful this is to you but it seems to be successful most of the time. The hoops we jump through just to speak.
