The french horn 'makes noise' the same way as any other brass instrument. The sound starts from a persons' lips buzzing into a mouthpiece. The air then vibrates through the tubing of the instrument. The less tubing the higher the pitch. The more tubing the lower the pitch. The pitch can also be changed by the tightening or loosening of a person's embouchure(the muscles around a persons lips, notable the 'corners).

∙ 12y agoThe French Horn is very similar to tuba's or trumpets. The mouth piece creates a sound that travels through the long tubes of the horn and out the bell. It has 3 valves that re-directs the sound through more tubes to make the sound higher or lower in pitch. The players places his left hand inside the bell to help form the soft sound.
I guess some of the earlier French Horns did not have valves. Hunting horns and Bugles do not have valves and the sounds are formed by the mouth piece by the technique of the player.

∙ 14y agoA french horn makes sound like any other brass instrument, with a mouthpiece. The player places their lips on the mouthpiece, with more of the upper lip being covered than the bottom, and buzzes. Pitches can be changed with the 3 to 4 valves, and with hand position in the bell.

∙ 11y agoFrench horns in general have a warm, smooth, full sound. Think of heroic sounds, or that awesome solo brass instrument in the Harry Potter theme. (My instructor knew the person who played that!) Or, rather, that is one of the possible sounds. The other main sound a French horn can make is a very loud, brassy sound. Both sounds have their heroic moments in music. http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=zCNHVMIYqiA This is the URL to the Harry Potter Theme song. Once it gets going and the theme is introduced, the theme is played by a louder, solo instrument. That, I believe, is our beloved French horn.
