Please listen the music in the video. These flutes where made and played on the spot.
Simplicity at its best.
Music from north-west Vietnam, Si La ethnic group.

I am curious why you express the flute in this way?
However, I do feel that the sound of flute sounds like human screaming. hahaha!

Hi, @catwomanteresa, thank you for stopping by and for the interest.
For flutes, as for whistle, expression and the intensity comes by controlling the diagram therefore, the instrument begins from within.
The player "re-shapes" the oral cavity by re-positioning their tongue, that will help with the change not only of intensity, but of octaves too (flutes have same fingering for different pitch - same note, just 'high/low' and that, is part of how we make the sound). The instrument is a bit like your mean of amplification with filters - pitches especially in the case of the two ladies in the video, they are bending the notes to create the sound from within.
Hope this answers your questions. :)
