A sweet gum is a simple leaf.
A sweet gum leaf is vascular. Vascular plants, including sweet gum trees, have specialized tissues (xylem and phloem) that transport water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant. This vascular system allows the leaf to efficiently support photosynthesis and growth. Non-vascular plants, on the other hand, do not have this system and rely on diffusion for nutrient and water transport.
Take one large gum leaf. With your fingernail, scratch off a small piece of the flesh of the leaf from one side, leaving the membrane of the other side exposed. It is slightly transparent if done successfully. With your lips pursed, blow across the exposed membrane to make a sound. Accomplished gum leaf players can get simple tunes out of the vibrating edge of the membrane.

The sweet gum tree gets its name from the aromatic resin it produces, which has a sweet fragrance reminiscent of gum. This resin, known as "gum" or "balsam," exudes from wounds in the bark and was historically used for medicinal purposes and as a chewing gum. The tree's scientific name, Liquidambar styraciflua, also reflects its gum-producing properties.
It of course is a Instrument you play. You rip off some of the Gum Leaf's skin, and put your lips on it and blow, there you will make a sound.

Birds peck holes in sweet gum trees to feed on the sap that flows out. The sap provides a good source of nutrition and energy for the birds. Additionally, the sweet gum tree sap may attract insects, providing the birds with an additional food source.
