The video tutorial explores how the amount of water in a bottle affects the sound it produces. By tapping bottles with varying water levels, it demonstrates that more water results in a lower pitch. This occurs because the water slows down the vibrations of the glass, reducing the frequency of sound waves. The tutorial concludes with a brief explanation of the observed phenomenon.
