Answer

It is possible to detect the filling of a bottle under a water tap by hearing the sound at a distance due to the pitch of the sound.

As the water level in a bottle kept under a water tap rises, the length of air column decreases, so the frequency of sound produced increases.

As frequency increases the pitch becomes shriller.

Hence, by hearing the sound from a distance, one can get an idea of water level in the pitch.
