When air vibrates, it causes the sound that comes from a Flute. Any wind instrument like a flute or Trumpet relies on the vibration of a jet of air so that the instrument can make the different sounds.

I think you may be referring to vibrato. This is when a flute player makes a sensible pulse in the sound (can speed up and slow down, usually used to add dimension to a long note). This is done by adding little bursts of support in the diaphragm or throat (kind of hard to explain, this is something you need to experiment with on your own- everyone's different!). Just make sure to keep constant support so you don't go flat and keep a solid tone throughout the sound.

From kids science information:

"In wind instruments, like the flute and trumpet, vibrating air makes the sound."

when you blow a flute, air particle moves towards the mouthpiece of your flute, producing a whistling sound that vibrates constantly until you stop blowing the flute.....

What makes a flute have a high pitch?

Basically, a flute is a tube where the internal column of air in the tube is set to vibrating by the player's breath. The pitch is high because the tube is relatively short. The pitch is still higher in the piccolo, because the tube is even shorter.


How does the flute make sound to make you hear the flute when playing?

Like in most woodwind instruments, when you blow into the mouthpiece that sets the whole length of the instrument vibrating. This vibrating is transferred into sound waves as it bounces off the surface of the interior. That is only one note, to get other notes you have to change the surface area against which the sound waves vibrate so the keys that you push and release create a different surface area therefore changing the vibration of the sound wave.


What instruments you can make which is related to physics?

The flute is related to the physics of a vibrating column of air. The violin is related to the physics of a vibrating length of string, and the resonance of a sound box. In a drum the membrane vibrates which in turn produces sound. If I walked through an orchestra pit I'm sure I could find other instruments related to physics.

Is the flute an aerophone?

Yes, because it is an instrument that makes sound by vibrating air without strings or other material aiding the vibration. As one would expect from the name, all wind instruments are aerophones..... thus the 'wind' part.

Does a flute have reeds inside it?

no, the reeded insterments are clarinets, saxaphones, bass clarinets, oboes, bassoons, etc. the flute doesn't have a reed, the sound is projected by blowing over the lip plate and creating the sound. the key's are to change the notes. :]
