There is a straw. I want to make a sound by blowing hard. Can we use the expressions?
1. Blow the straw to make a sound.
2. Blow across the straw to make a sound.
3. Blow into the straw to make a sound.
4. Blow on the straw to make a sound.
5. Blow over the straw to make a sound.
[Don't we have to use #1? Can we use #2? What about the others?]

2, 4, and 5 will work.
2 or 5 depending on if you hold the straw with its long axis vertical or horizontal.
Normally it would be 5, blowing over the hole in the top of the straw.
