此作為延續「聲瓶系列」 作品以空氣吹拂瓶⼦子發聲的原理,發出如笛聲的⾃自製樂器。而「嗶吐嗶」則改變以往利用水位高低來改變音高頻率的方式，將無調性的音頻轉變成數十隻長短不同如排笛⾳音階的方式，可發出固定的音高。利用馬達帶動吹嘴的擺動,使用電腦程式與觀眾互動，在現場即時編曲。
Piping sound is produced from a self-made musical instrument. It follows the same principle of ‘Sound of Bottle’ series which is to make sound by blowing air into the bottles. Instead of using the traditional method to change the high pitch frequency with different water level, beTube is able toproduce fixed high pitches by changing atonal tones into several long and short pan flute scales. As the motor drives the wobble of the mouthpiece, the computer program can interact with the audience to compose songs instantly.
