that sensation can be can be present in 'chest voice', too. whether
it is simply bone conduction or, actual resonance, the sensation is an
effect, not a cause. the problems with labeling a voice 'chest' or 'head',
is that it describes effects that are not universally felt.

with regard to 'air friction': try blowing just air out your nose and
you will never get the same sensation as with sound.
