I’m a school crossing guard here in Brooklyn, NYC. Here the traffic is horrible so I’m always looking for a great quality whistle. I just ordered the brand Fox 40 Classic & Sonik Blast. Can’t wait to try them out at work 😂, great video 👍🏽

I use my whistle regularly on my City's Greenway trail when riding my bike because there is a blind curve on the trail and before entering the curve I like to warns other pedestrians and bikers of my approach to the curve. I have a collection of whistles and I found that the Storm whistle and the Binboll triple tube whistle are very loud whereas the Noopel triple tube whistle is thin, light weight and comfortable but it isn't as loud as the Storm nor the Bindoll whistle.

I have the Storm Whistle, three Fox 40 whistles and several other brands. I think the Storm Whistle is going to get the most attention. I did not buy it for the size of it, but for effectiveness. I like the Fox 40 whistles as a second choice. It is not to big to carry IMHO.

Storm was meant to be used while you wear gloves, like when you scuba dive or are skiing, etc.

[danogden]

The Fox 40 micro sounds as good as the full size one!

hello thanks for all the info. do you know any lower pitch whistles or whistles from other countrys? for some reason i think its like a Swedish safety whistle and a st bernard comes in with that barrel around there neck.

Whistles are noisy, but they can be used to save people’s lives in times of trouble. 👍🏻 if they remind you of Titanic where 🌹 attracted the attention of a crew member who rowed the lifeboat at sea 109 years ago in April.

Acme are the finest whistle makers. J Hudson invented the whistle. If you wish to have a pea whistle, acme thunderers are absolutely brilliant. You can get metal and plastic versions at different tones and pitches. If you wish to get a pealess whistle then try acme's tornado versions. I believe they also do cyclone which is most recent technology and easier to blow for a pealess whistle. I promise you acme whistles are outstanding quality. I've had mine for years and have lasted well. The pea whistles pea is made from cork which enables the whistles to create a loud shrill sound as well as surviving harsh weather. Pea whistles are meant to be more hygienic than the pealess whistles. Please consider acme. I give credit to fox40 as I believe they were the first or one of the first to invent the pealess whistle.

I'm looking for one that is loud and can be used by a child? We live around the Cascades and children go missing every year camping and hiking.

Fox 40 classic sounds like kuanga manatog's manatog whistle

[marciolimas]

I wander how the marine style performed compared to the fox micro one, the marine sounds much better in my opinion but also seems to be quieter, but i assume it could be the mic sensitivity to different tones.

Chen the Yoda’s species guy carried a rusty brass metal whistle to communicate signals and commands to his animals while defeating the enemies in the game called revenge chen

Less useless side talk and instead focus more on the products.
