The sound produced in a flute is due to the vibration of air column in the flute. The frequency of sound produced depends on length. The frequency is inversely proportional to the length of the air column. By closing or opening the holes , the length of the air column is changed and hence the frequency can be changed.
Why is echo not heard in our living rooms? To hear echo, the minimum distance between the source and the reflector must be 17m. When this distance is more than 17m, the reflected sound can be distinguished from the original. As the length of our rooms is less than 17m, we don't hear echo.
