The nasal sounds of the English language exhibit the presence of antiresonaces. One of the reasons for the presence of antiresonance is the result of the trapping of the acoustic signal at the bilabial, alveolar and velar place production. Given the frequency of the antiresonance is influenced by the length of the tube (i.e., longer tubes are associated with lower resonant frequency) from the place of production out to the opening of the nasal cavity of the three nasal consonants, which has the lowest resonant frequency?
