How To Whistle Loudly

Whistling is a funny skill: folks who can whistle, wonder how anyone could have a problem with it.
Folks who can't, wonder how anyone could ever produce such a sound. For those of you who can't,
consider learning--a quick, loud, penetrating whistle has many useful applications and can be
mastered with relative ease. (Note: there's nothing here on whistling Dixie or any other tuneful
amusement.)

Introduction
What you'll need:

Your fingers, washed (if you're starting a practice session)

A mirror (optional)

Practice 5 minutes a day in the mirror, and you'll have it in a few weeks (at the most)

Terms to know:

1. Bevel: a sharply angled edge which air flows over and produces a tone. In the case of a
whistle, the sound is created by the upper teeth and tongue forcing air on to the lower lip and
teeth.
2. Sweet spot: the bevel's area of maximum efficiency, where the air is blown directly over the
sharpest part of the bevel. Once you locate the sweet spot, your whistle will have a strong,
clear tone, as opposed to a breathy, low-volume sound.

You'll be shown two techniques for whistling: one that uses your fingers, and another that doesn't.
Say it's raining, your arms are full of shopping bags, and you need to flag a taxi. This no-hands
whistle will allow you to emerge victorious in this situation and others. But the fingerless whistle is a
little trickier to master, so you should practice the fingered whistle first. Just practice a little bit every
day; soon pets and taxis alike will be at your beck and call.

Familiarize yourself with the different parts of your mouth, and get a feel for how they work
together. It's mostly a matter of practicing whenever you get the chance: for example, walking a dog,
applauding a live performance, or...flagging down a taxi.

If you can't produce any sort of whistle at present, maybe just loud wheezing sounds, you may want
to try the fingered whistle first. Some say it's easier than the "no-hands" technique; others say they
are equally easy (with practice.)

If you've set aside time to practice (highly recommended) then wash your hands first. It's good to be
picky about what you put inside your mouth.

Method 1: Fingered Whistle

Tuck away your lips

First, your upper and lower lips must reach over to cover your teeth and be tucked into your mouth.
Only the outer edges of your lips are visible, if at all.

1.) Choose your finger combination

http://www.natwilson.com/stuff/whistle.html 17/Jan/2009
How To Whistle Loudly Page 2 of 27

The role of fingers is to keep the lips in place over the teeth. Experiment with the following
combinations to discover which works best for you, depending on the size of your fingers and
mouth. Regardless of your choice of fingers, their placement is the same: each are placed roughly
halfway between the corners and center of lips, inserted to the first knuckle. (Again, this will vary
depending on the size of your fingers and mouth.)

Your options are:

a U-shape created with thumb and middle finger, or thumb and index finger, of either hand.

right and left index fingers.

right and left middle fingers.

right and left pinkie fingers.

Now that your fingers are in place, be very clear on these two matters of form:

1. Your fingernails should be angled inwards, towards the center of the tongue, and not pointed
straight in and towards the back of your mouth; and
2. your fingers should pull the lower lip fairly taut.

2.) Draw back the tongue

Now comes the crucial part of the whistle.

The tongue must be drawn back so that its front tip almost touches the bottom of the mouth a short
distance behind the lower gums (about 1/2 inch/1 cm). This action also broadens and flattens the
front edge of the tongue, allowing it to cover a wider portion of the lower back teeth.

The sound is produced by air flowing over a bevel, or a sharply angled edge. In this case, the sound
is created by the upper teeth and tongue directing air onto the lower lip and teeth.

3.) Blow

Steps 3 and 4 follow each other very closely, if not simultaneously. Inhale deeply, and exhale over
the top side of the tongue and lower lip, and out of your mouth. Some extra downward and outward
pressure by the fingers onto the lips and teeth may be helpful. Experiment with the position of the
fingers, the draw of the tongue, the angle of the jaw, and the strength of your exhalation. Adjusting
with these will bring success.

Start off with a fairly gentle blow. You'll produce a whistle of lower volume at first, but you'll also
have more breath to practice with if you don't spend it all in the first three seconds. As you blow,
adjust your fingers, tongue and jaws to find the bevel's sweet spot. This is the area of maximum
efficiency, where the air is blown directly over the sharpest part of the bevel. Once you locate the
sweet spot, your whistle will have a strong, clear tone, as opposed to a breathy, low-volume sound.

Listen for these sounds: as you practice, your mouth will learn to focus the air onto the bevel's sweet
spot with increasing accuracy. You'll probably hear the following: a breathy, low-volume tone that
suddenly, as you adjust your fingers, mouth, or jaw, will switch to a clear, full, high-volume tone.
Success! You're on the right track--your task now is to reproduce the mouth and hand position that
led to the better whistle.

Method 2: Fingerless Whistle

The fingerless whistle is a natural outgrowth of the fingered whistle. In the first method, you use
your fingers to keep the lip taut and in place. With the next method, you remove your fingers and
don't use them at all (except to cross them for good luck). Instead of using your fingers, you rely on
your muscles in your lips, cheeks, and jaw. Since this technique requires greater control of those
muscles, it may be easier to master the fingered whistle first, and then move on to the fingerless
method.

1.) Draw back lips

Begin by extending the lower jaw slightly, and pulling the corners of your mouth back a bit, towards
your ears. Your bottom teeth should not be visible, but it's fine if your upper teeth are.

Your bottom lip should be quite taut against the lower teeth; if you have need help with this
movement, press an index and middle fingertip on either side of the mouth to draw the lip slightly
out to the corners. Note: this action is not an insertion of the fingers into the mouth, as the first
method indicated. In this instance, you're simply stretching the lower lip a bit, and the fingertips
aren't in the airstream.

2.) Draw back the tongue

Now comes the crucial part of the whistle.

The tongue must be drawn back so that it sort of floats in the mouth at the level of the lower front
teeth. This action also broadens and flattens the front edge of the tongue, yet there's still a space
between the tongue and the lower front teeth.

The sound of the whistle comes from air that is blown over a bevel, or a sharply angled edge. In this
case, the sound is created by the upper teeth and tongue forcing air on to the lower lip and teeth.

3.) Blow

Steps 2 and 3 follow each other very closely, if not simultaneously.

Inhale deeply and exhale--the air should flow under your tongue, up through the space between the
tongue and teeth, and out of the mouth. Experiment with the position of the fingers, the draw of the
tongue, the angle of the jaw, and the strength of your exhalation.

Start off with a fairly gentle blow. You'll produce a whistle of lower volume, but you'll also have
more breath to practice with if you don't spend it all in the first three seconds.

Using your upper lip and teeth, direct the air downwards and towards your lower teeth. The focus of
the air is crucial for this technique--you should be able to feel the air on the underside of your
tongue. And if your hold your finger below your lower lip, you should feel the downward thrust of
air when you exhale.

As you blow, adjust your tongue and jaws to find the sweet spot. This is the area of maximum
efficiency, where the air is blown directly over the sharpest part of the bevel. This results in a strong,
clear tone that's constant, as opposed to a breathy, lower-volume sound that fades in and out.

Listen for the following: the sound you'll start with will sound as if you're letting air out of a tire.
Every now and then, the clear and full tone will come through, and you'll know that it's only a matter

This is a cool guide but I do have one thing I argue with. I have been able to whistle loudly for
a good many years but it was the fingerless (still have difficulty with the fingered on...) whistle
and it was always high pitched with my lips slightly puckered (and most of my family can
whistle fingerless but not fingered). Just thought I would mention it.

u need to practice over several days to get the fingered whistle, i found that having ur tongue
in a uish shape with the end of ur tongue towards ur throat easiest. then make an ok sign with
ur thumb and index finger then put ur fingers at the top of ur curved tongue. ur chin should sit
like in the middle of ur hand so like ur fingers r at a 45 degree angle when they are in the
mouth. then blow changing the strength of the breath until u get a faint whistle. this is the
correct angle to hav ur fingers. gradually make the breath stronger and this will make the
whistle louder. once u hav it change the angle of ur fingers and this will produce louder
whistles. but the only way is to practice and experiment with urself to c wat works better for u!
hope this helps!

I thought this was extremely helpful, for those of those able to visualize well, or have an idea
how to perform one of the two featured whistle techniques. I don't necessarily agree about
placing videos, because one isn't able to view the inner mouth placements during the whistle.
Diagrams would be useful for these folk, however, as well to assist those who visualize well
from reading text, to familiarize themselves even quicker.

As a sidenote: I believe that those unable to perform either of the techniques described
herewithin, making negative, or offensive comments regarding the site/tutorial. A suggestion
how to improve or what about it was misunderstood, is a polite, efficient way to express such
frustrations, and may be helpful for you to learn the techniques aforementioned.

I guess that helped me a little bit to do the fingered whistle bit but I got it with a lot of practice.
I tried for about a week, 5 minutes a day as you advised before I got any sound. Now I can
almost do it every time. Sometimes it takes me a few seconds to find the sweet spot sometimes
less.

For those of you who can't do it: the key is in the placement of the tongue and the fingers. The
way you blow is also important but less important. The tongue has to be drawn backward as
mentioned in the instructions but the position really depends on the size of your mouth. The tip
of your tongue has to be really close to your lower teeth or else it doesn't work at all. You don't
have to completely hide your teeth with your lips to make it work (because it hurts to bite the
lips :p). Blow slowly first and keep blowing pushing your tongue with your two fingers (your
tongue pushes back) until you get something. Once you get a little sound, it'll be easy to find

Dude, thank you!

I don't know how long I have wanted to learn how to do this, but I am here to say that it has

http://www.natwilson.com/stuff/whistle.html 17/Jan/2009
How To Whistle Loudly Page 27 of 27

been a WHILE. It took me, in a rudimentary sense of total, 2 days to essentially master this. I
have been able to whistle regularly (without fingers and not loud) for more than a decade now.
I took at look at this website one day, read maybe half the instructions, and then got bored and
left haha. BUT WAIT!!! This is why I said it took me "two days". I officially saw it 24 hours
before I mastered the fingered technique. Though when I actually read the full version, I'd say
it took me about half an hour before I was consistently making high-pitched, super-loud
ringing sounds. And I am soooooo grateful. i think ill try the no-finger technique tomorrow
haha.

Anyway, thanks for the help!

Peace!

P.S. o and just a suggestion, I originally spent a lot of time looking for one with pictures and
slightly more detailed descriptions of what I should feel when I am doing it correcrtly so....ya
just a tip. thanks! =]

I keep here people say they mastered the fingerless whistle but not the finger-with whistle.

Ok you need to understand something, the fingerless whistle is not simple "whistling". It is an
incredibly high-pitched and VERY loud sound that sounds almost exactly like the finger-with
whistle. i think most people here are confusing it "fingerless whistle" with "just whistling".
IT'S NOT THE SAME!!! Fingerless whistle is veeerrryyyy loud, just like the finger-with
whistle.

Keep trying and do the finger-wth whistle first! It's easier placement for your tongue and you
literally CANNOT do the fingerless without the finger-with first
