The previous answer is wrong, the sound on a clarinet is produced when the air entering the clarinet causes the reed to vibrate, the different notes are produced based on how far the vibration has to travel,

∙ 6y agoIt makes a sound because when you blow into it, the reed vibrates and the vibrations travel down the Clarinet. The reed, along with the breath of the musician, is the source of the sound, while the body of the instrument resonates with the sound and amplifies it.

∙ 15y agoA clarinet uses air to make sound.
The air is put through the reed, which helps it to vibrate. Using the different ekeys and holes, you cut off or open places for the air to escape at certen times. Once it gets to the bell, the bell vibrates, creating the harmonious sound.

How does the sound of a clarinet get louder?
The sound of a clarinet gets louder as the musician blows harder into it. Also, the musician tightens the mouth to make the sound more stable, so you can make it even louder.To make the clarinet go quieter, you do not blow as much air into the clarinet.
How does a clarinet produce sound of different pitches?
The register key, on the back of the clarinet, makes the sound higher. The sound becomes higher because the air moves through the instrument differently to make the pitch higher.
What does a barrel do on a clarinet?

What does a clarinet sound like?
Well first off, I have been playing the clarinet for quite a while now, so to me it might sound different than someone who isn't in band or plays the clarinet...anyway, I think the clarinet is a beautiful instrument and produces a magnificent tone...if the player carries themselves with good posture, then this will improve the tone also. A good reed always helps too! :) Overall the clarinet is a great sounding instrument which produces a sound close to a bass clarinet or possibly oboe or bassoon. mainly the bass clarinet though..hope this answers your question! :)
How does the length of a clarinet affect the pitch?
The longer the clarinet the lower the pitch or sound it makes. The shorter the clarinet the higher pitch it makes. The most common clarinet is a Bb (B flat) Clarinet or a bass clarinet which is longer and lower. Another common clarinet is an Eb (E flat) clarinet which makes a higher pitch or sound. As far as i know, they all have the same fingerings. The only difference is your embouchure (how you position your mouth) and the sound/pitch it produces.

How does a clairnet make sound?
Blowing in the mouthpiece over the reed causes it to vibrate. This causes sound waves that travel down the body of the clarinet. The more holes you close off on the keys, the longer the tube of the clarinet is and the lower the note.
