So more like the reed of a saxophone, a powerful and steady blow across it will cause it to resonate...sorry, cause it to flutter at its natural frequency.
Compared with a tuning fork. If you have a C tuning fork and hold it near a piano when you play any C, the fork will noticeably vibrate from the tiny force of audio vibrations reaching it. It resonates with the weak, but in tune, audio force.
