The acoustic outer sheath (4) is located on the inner main string body (3) and is designed to produce sound. It is the regulated outer structure. This outer sheath (4) increases the tensile strength of the inner main rope body (3). It contains micro-openings designed to produce sound under wind current (16) without attenuation. Micro-holes (5), micro-slits (6), micro-channels (7), whistle on the acoustic outer sheath (4). mouth openings (8), small resonance cavities (9) or at least two of these 10 Combinations can be found. When these openings encounter the wind flow (16), the opening pressure difference at the edges, vortex formation, edge vibration, or small volume resonance effect This produces an audible sound along the rope, a whistling sound, A humming or varying timbre occurs. The invention's significant difference from existing applications is that sound generation is added to the kite string afterwards. without any attached separate whistle, propeller, flute, reed or sound apparatus, directly This is provided by the kite string's own integrated acoustic outer sheath (4). In one application of the invention, micro-holes (5) are placed at specific intervals on the acoustic outer sheath (4) 20 They are in the form of round, oval, conical or angled holes. The diameter, depth, and edge of the holes vary. The sharpness, the distance between the holes, and the orientation of the holes according to the wind flow determine the sound character. It is changing. In another application, micro-slits (6) cause thin edge vibration under wind current (16) 25 They are formed in a straight, oblique, spiral, diagonal, or wavy shape to create the desired result. In another application, microchannels (7) create a short channel on the acoustic outer sheath (4) for wind. open channel, semi-open channel, designed to allow sound to travel along its length and produce sound at the channel output. It is designed as a closed channel or a channel connected to an internal volume. 30 In another application, whistle-mouth openings (8) allow the wind to blow into a small sharp edge or It has a geometry that allows it to create a whistling sound by hitting the lips.

Thus, the student can indicate the wind 5 Visual and auditory data showing how different regions produce sound depending on changing conditions. can be followed as follows. When wind speed increases, the speed of air passing through micro-openings increases. Consequently, Sound perceived through the direction of sound output or sound wave (19) results in a higher pitched sound output. (23) may slip. When the wind intensity decreases, the sound coming from the openings becomes more subdued / humming. It can be converted to character sound output (24). In this invention, string tension is also a parameter affecting sound generation. As the kite rises, the wind... As the inner main rope body (3) increases or the user applies a pull-release motion (21) 15 The voltage on it changes. The voltage change region (22) is located on the acoustic outer sheath (4).
