The tough part is to get the right about of lip pressure around the straw, the positioning of your lips on the right part of the straw, and the right blowing strength. I found it easiest to put the straw in my mouth where I thought it should be positioned, start blowing (fairly hard), and move the straw gradually back and forth till I produced the noise.
