Fox 40 Whistle

I wanted to get a few more of these whistles, I keep them on me when I'm hiking for emergencies ... This is the go to standard for a reliable and very loud whistle, that doesn't peak out or go silent when you blow really hard into itHaven't seen anything else that comes close to simplicity, price and performance !

Have started coaching basketball again after not doing so for over 20 years. Needed a whistle to be effective with my group of teenage boys. I have always had a Fox 40 whistle back in the day so am very familiar with the brand. No pea/ball in the whistle. Pure, crisp, loud sound when one knows how to use it properly. Would highly recommend it for those who require a good whistle.

As a football referee all the whistles I used before where good but often players didn't react to the call I did and played on. With the Fox40 I was shocked my self when blow into it the very first time. It's such a massive whistle that everyone will stop immediately. The first match I was blowing init to much so I still had a ringing in my ear next day. LOVE THIS WHISTLE and will get it again if I need a replacement. For UK buyers it takes a couple of weeks as it comes from Canada/USA but it's worth the wait.

I bought this whistle to replace my Fox 40 Pearl whistle for Football Refereeing. The Fox 40 Classic has a much better tone, and is also a lot louder than my previous whistle. I would definately recommend this whistle for refereeing as the players instantly stop once you've blown it, it's not easy to ignore! Overall a great whistle, and as it has no ball inside it, it cannot somehow get stuck. This means there is one less thing to go wrong which is definately a good thing while reffing an intense match.The whistle actually arrived before the date specified, which is great.

Ear-splitting. Seriously, do not use indoors, you'll decimate your ear drums.Higher pitched than I expected; Originally wanted to use it for marshalling (referee whistle) but instead packed it into my survival/camping bag as an emergency whistle - there is absolutely no way at all people walking on the same mountain as you will not hear this. Tested with a friend in the countryside, could be heard an obscene distance away.

Product arrived 5 days late, but is much louder than previous whistle.

The whistle was recommended as the best to buy for Basketball referees. The pea design is not used in basketball and this whistle doesn't have one. It gives a clear, loud, high pitched tone that can be heard in the noisiest of basketball halls. We chose the plastic casing over the stainless as a safety precaution. We had heard of chipped/broken teeth being caused by the stainless one when a player ran into the ref. The plastic one is softer and doesn't appear to have this 'side-effect'.Recommend you also buy the lanyard, if only the wrist-strap type rather than the neck length one, so that it is not dropped if the referee is nudged.

Came with a handy strap. Very loud. A great premium whistle!
