An endotracheal tube sound device is presented having a sound bead connected to the distal end of a wire. A retaining piece is affixed to the wire adjacent to the sound bead. A handle is connected to the proximal end of the wire. Using this device, the sound bead may be inserted into an endotracheal tube to determine if the endotracheal tube is deformed and then removed from the endotracheal tube by pulling on the handle.
