    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embouchure

    While performing on a brass instrument, the sound is produced by the player buzzing their lips into a mouthpiece. Pitches are changed in part through altering the amount of muscular contraction in the lip formation. The performer's use of the air, tightening of cheek and jaw muscles, as well as tongue manipulation can affect how the embouchure ...

    Split tones can sound similar to a technique called growling, in which additional noise is produced from the throat while playing.

    Since this still lacks scientific confirmation, rampant speculation continues about potential extra-terrestrial theories for these "trumpet noises." But don't count NASA as a UFO-doubter just yet.

  9. Mouthpiece (brass) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouthpiece_(brass)

    On all brass instruments, sound is produced when the player's vibrating lips (embouchure) cause the air column, i.e. the air enclosed inside the instrument, to vibrate. This is done by pressing the lips together and blowing air through them in order to produce a 'buzz.' The mouthpiece is where this lip vibration takes place.
