Does think and thick have the same sound?

No, "think" and "thick" do not have the same sound.

* Think: The "th" sound in "think" is a "thin" sound, where the tongue is placed between the teeth and air is released through the mouth.

* Thick: The "th" sound in "thick" is a "thick" sound, where the tongue is placed behind the teeth and air is released through the mouth.

The difference in pronunciation is subtle but noticeable.
