Definition
声道 is a noun with two main senses. In electronics and audio, it refers to a 'sound channel' — e.g., left and right channels in stereo (左声道, 右声道). In anatomy and phonetics, it means 'vocal tract', the passage from the larynx to the lips used in speech. The given dictionary gloss 'lg. vocal tract' is nonstandard and likely an error; the more common meaning in daily usage is the audio channel.
n.
