The air inside each straw. When you blow across the top of your straw flute, you cause the air inside each straw to vibrate as it moves around. That movement of air is what we hear as sound. ... A longer vibration makes a lower sound.

How is sound produced in a straw flute?
If you vibrate solid objects they make the air around them vibrate, creating sound waves. This happens when you blow through the straws in your straw flute. The different lengths of each straw vibrate with different frequencies, creating different pitches of sound.
How do you make a sound with a straw?
Place the cut end of the straw into your mouth, seal your lips around it, and blow until a “sound” is produced. It's tough to do so don't rush or blow too hard and long. The sound will be more of a squawk than music. You'll feel the entire straw vibrate as a sound is made, too.
How does a flute generate sound?
Sound is produced on the flute by blowing: the flutist blows through the mouth hole (embouchure hole) and the stream of air that makes contact with the edge is cyclically directed outward and inward. ... The flutist uses tone holes and keys to shorten the vibrating air column, thus producing an increase in pitch.
Which straw produces louder sound?
The higher the frequency, the higher the perceived pitch. The shorter straw should have made a sound wave with a higher frequency than the longer straw, and so the shorter straw should have made a higher pitch than the longer straw.
