Can you whistle loudly?

[Rose65]

I've never mastered that very loud whistle some people can do with two fingers in their mouth. Can women do that or just men?
I can and do quietly whistle a tune to myself sometimes.
Funny thing whistling, you can reach notes you can't with your voice.

I can whistle loudly with any combination of two fingers in my mouth. So loud in fact, that i could hurt your eardrum.

I used to be able to whistle loudly for the dog/s, but can't seem to do it anymore.
Perhaps practice makes perfect, and we haven't had dogs for a long while now.

I could - then about 3 months ago I lost a tooth bottom centre that had been loose for years, and couldn't. Last week I had a new tooth fitted and can now whistle again

I can do that loud whistle without any fingers in my mouth at all. Boy, what a scary weird face I make pulling it off though. It requires a strange jaw position jutted out with the lower lip stretching over the bottom teeth and some odd tongue gymnastics.

I too whistle very loud without fingers, do a lot of bird calls
with my whistles too...fun when they answer me !!!

I've always greatly admired people who can whistle loudly! At eight, I mastered whistling the song 'Tequila.' I can't anymore. Sometimes now when I say a word that begins with 'S' I accidentally whistle!

I can whistle loudly with or without fingers in my mouth. Having fingers in my mouth definitely makes my whistling louder.
Note: my husbands wondering why I’m whistling loud. He can’t whistle at all

I once could call my dog at a 100 yards away, but now my whistler has weakened, maybe lung capacity, I don’t know, but I can still project my whistle at least 50+ yards away. My wife doesn’t allow me to whistle in the house.

So, how is it done?

Lol! Oh dear, in later years it's a thing that happens, whistling unintentionally.

I can whistle without fingers fairly quietly... but with fingers I can summon the neighbourhood dogs....

 

[Jules]

No. I can barely whistle now. Once had a boss who could whistle beautifully. It was always nice to hear and also meant he was in a good mood, because things were going well.

 

[Flarbalard]

No, never could with the two finger approach.

Yes, I can do the shrill, super-loud whistle with my fingers pressed against my lips. It's how I used to call my kids inside. Basically, it was the dinner bell.

Amusingly, some of their friends were jealous;

"That was your dad???"
"Yeah. Means it's time to go home."
"Whoaaa..."
