  abstract =	 {We discuss different types of measurements
                  targetting the interplay of mechanical motion with
                  electrical transport in suspended single-wall carbon
                  nanotube devices. In driven resonator experiments,
                  the transversal acoustical vibration mode is
                  detected and identified at room temperature using ac
                  down-mixing techniques. In contrast, low-temperature
                  transport spectroscopy enables the observation of
                  the longitudinal acoustic mode in the quantum limit
                  in single electron tunnelling. This vibrational
                  excitation can also be observed in higher order
                  tunnelling current for appropriate electronic
                  coupling to the leads. Experimental roads towards
                  the quantum limit of the transversal vibration
                  mode--as ultimate quantum-limited beam
                  resonator--are explored, e.g. extending both
                  abovementioned measurement techniques.}
