How does the X sound differ from the S sound?

The X sound is a combination of the K and S sounds, where the back of the tongue raises to create a slight constriction of airflow similar to a K sound, and the front of the tongue positions close to the hard palate resembling an S sound. On the other hand, the S sound is produced by forcing air through a narrow channel created by the tongue and the roof of the mouth, resulting in a hissing sound. Ultimately, the X sound has elements of both a fricative (S) and a plosive (K) sound, making it different from the pure fricative sound of S.

The X sound is relatively rare in English compared to other sounds.

Overall, the X sound is not as common in English as other sounds like the vowels and consonants in the English alphabet.
