Fox 40 Classic Whistle

I can't understand how there are so many 1-star reviews for these, unless some are defective. I tried it out with 1 quick toot inside the house, and it made my ears ring - and I didn't blow nearly as hard as I could. It makes a shrill sound that carries very well over water. Mine is lightweight but seems sturdy. It's also nice and small, so it's not in the way on my life jacket. About to pick up 2 more for my buddies. If you get one that doesn't work properly, just send it back. I'll edit this if there's any issue after a year of fishing, but I doubt there will be.

I have been trying to find a good whistle for Refereeing swim meets. I found that the cheap metal whistles have a bad taste and require too much air to be loud. We blow a lot of prolonged whistles and it tires you out using too much air. I got 3 whistles to compare and replace my cheapo whistles: The Acme Thunderer 60.5: Low airflow, loud without hurting my ears. Does not taste like metal. Classy look with a nice sound. This is my go-to whistle now. Fox 40 Classic Safety Whistle: Low airflow, loud and shrill. Low cost. I prefer the Thunderer sound a bit more, this is my backup. Acme T2000 Tornado: High airflow, too loud and too shrill. You can't blow it softly, it only makes a sound when you blow hard.

This has got to be the loudest whistle I have ever used. WAY better than your typical whistle one would buy at a sports store or at your big box retail store. First time I tried this whistle was out in my front yard and I felt the loud SPL from it in my ears. The manufacturer says one can get SPL's at around 115 db and I truly believe that. NOW I am getting a bit louder because of the strong lungs I have. As a sound engineer and a DJ, working in that field for over 30 years, outside my day to day driving job, I am pretty good at estimating how loud different sounds can get and with this whistle, I get whistles from this around 120 to 125 db. My original intention on buying this whistle was to use it for work. After I had lost my transportation job out of Tampa Int. Airport, and started a new one as a school bus driver, I needed something loud enough to get the students attention when needing to talk to them about anything if they won’t respond to my already loud voice. This whistle gets their attention REALLY fast and gets them to quiet down in a timely matter when needing to address them. *NOISY SCHOOL BUS* A quick sharp couple of bursts on this whistle and the students are quiet. That FAST! But the use of this on the school bus is not the only thing I use this whistle for. I own a 20 ft flats boat that has no horn and to keep buying airhorn cans can be costly especially if you use them frequently. The Coast Guard Regulations states I have to have some sort of sound emitting device on my boat and a whistle is an approved choice. This is plenty loud enough to be able to signal your actions while piloting a vessel. For the price and its intended use, this is definitely a great purchase for my needs. Hey… if the NFL uses this type of whistles by the Refs… It has to be a good product.

Nicely made and effective.

It whistles as it should.

Many officials use this whistle for sound and loudness.

When we received the package and opened it my wife tried one of the whistles. She did not put much effort into it, gave a half hearted puff and declared that it was not very loud. I tried it with some gusto in my attempt and it was ear piercing. Never will I use it in the house again! Outside it is still extremely loud. I do not believe you could find a louder mouth blown whistle. We bought these because of their double tone. I wanted something loud and unique so my dog would recognise it from a long distance. Whenever I walk him I use it so he will know the sound. We just went to Acadia National Park and I felt sure that if he got away that he would find us through the use of these whistles. They also would be a good rescue tool. Great Product! These are just what we needed.

This is the whistle that I used when I was a lifeguard. It is meant to reach over a long distances since as a lifeguard you are usually in a big area where people need to hear it from far away. It is incredibly loud so make sure if you’re purchasing it. You are OK with that. For me that’s what I needed so I am happy with it. There is a specific way you have to blow into it for it to work and it takes some practice to get used to.

Very bad product. No sound.

Ottimo qualità top

Me gusta para usarlo en interior, muy buena calidad, excelente producto

強く吹かないとしっかりとした音がでませんが、 音は響きやすく良い音です。 あとはコルクを使ってないので衛生的。

I brought this for my hiking backpack it’s awesome and the delivery was great
