• Choked flow, a restriction of fluid flow under pressure, in which the fluid reaches sonic flow
• Choke point, a constriction in a conduit or transport system, e.g. a narrowing of a road
• Choke valve, a valve used to control the fuel-air mixture in internal combustion engines
• Spreading and choking, a technique in printing for adjusting colors in the production of color separations
• Damping (music) or Dampening, a guitar-playing technique in which the sound is reduced by pressing the palm against the strings
