Storm Safety Whistle - Black

This whistle is SUPER LOUD!!! It is in fact so loud that I can't blow the whistle in my neighborhood for fear that I'd hear about it later, and I have to hold my ears when I do blow it. I originally bought this whistle to use on walks with my dog. My German shorthaired pointer loves to run FAR away off-leash whenever we go somewhere it is allowed. I wanted a way to call her back to us, and this works great! I do have to say, the design is pretty genius. The sound is directed away from you rather than towards you like some of the other "loudest whistles in the world" on Amazon. It also is a solid plastic design with no moving parts, which makes it waterproof, virtually unsinkable, and durable. The only minor thing that I have with this whistle that wasn't enough for me to take away a star, was that the grip on the body of the whistle doesn't fit my fingers that well. It may fit you, but even so, it doesn't matter too much to me. I highly recommend this for anyone in my position, or just as a way to get a lot of attention!

I bought this for use in emergencies should I or someone in my hiking group gets lost or injured. I used it last week when I got separated from the other two people I was with. Unfortunately, they didn’t have whistles to respond with when I blew mine, but they heard me, and two blasts meant I was safe, just trying to connect with them.In a true emergency in true wilderness, especially when hiking alone or stranded, a personal locator beacon is a good idea, but they are expensive and overkill in most hiking situations where you don’t need to call in search and rescue, just locate a lost hiker in your group. It is also a good reliable backup, should the locator beacon fail for some reason when you need it most. Recommend it to your friends, especially those you hike with.

If your looking for a very loud and very easy to use whistle than look no further. Its only down side for me and this is just my personal opinion is that it is so loud that i have to either plug my ears or wear ear protection when using it.

The size of the whistle is what I expected from reading and viewing reviews online. It is durable and is easy to use by just having it hang out of your mouth (clasping it with your teeth). My son and I tested it with an app on my iPhone and I got decibel readings from 118 to 132 dB! I was pretty close to my phone when I blew the 132 reading - haha!

Yea it works and it’s loud

I tested 4 whistles with the following results shown (with the weight listed in grams):Fenix NW20 (30 g) 91 dBStorm (22 g) 105 dBLeapro pea (6 g) 95 dBAcme Siren (49 g) 89 dBThe tests were done using an American Recorder Technologies, SPL-8810 meter outside at 2 meters distance. The table lists the average of 3 measurements. (The Acme Siren was the only one that had much variation between measurements, >3dB.) The Leapro is a cheap plastic pea whistle that I have had for years and is much smaller than the Storm. There seems to be not of response when googled. I will continue to use it for hiking and trail running where its small size and weight make it almost unnoticeable. However, for higher risk activities like alpine climbing and backcountry skiing I will probably take the bulkier Storm. The Fenix NW20 looks high tech but had a disappointing and poor performance, especially considering the higher price. Since the loudness measurements (decibels) are on a logarithmic scale, the sound pressure of the Storm is a full order of magnitude greater than the other whistles tested.Get the Storm if you want the loudness and do not mind the bulk.Note that results might vary over longer distances, varied terrain, and in different weather conditions. The above readings are done with the C weightings (dBC) but are consistent with the A readings (dBA).Update in June 2015. Further tests in the woods with friends indicates that the Storm carries better and is "easier" to hear. These tests also included the Whistles for Life Tri-Power which came in a close second.

Bear in mind I have a couple of teenage sons who take pride in being unimpressed with anything and everything I bring home that's intended to impress them. So Amazon delivers two STORM WHISTLES and I inform my spawn that I hold in my hand the World's Loudest whistle; neither one averts his eyes from SportsCenter:Me Love Sons 15I persuade the two of them to read the packaging and they seem mildly interested:Me 15 Sons 15I inquire if they'd like to give the STORM WHISTLE a try and they agree that they will during the commercial break:Me 30 Sons 15Both boys saunter onto the deck and nonchalantly place STORM WHISTLE in their mouth then blow:Me 40 Sons 15Between RIDICULOUSLY LOUD HIGH PITCHED whistles I hear "Holy %&#%" and "Are you #@!&^ing kidding me?":Me GAME.

This whistle is definitely pretty loud. It is loud enough to hurt your ears if you blow it in a confined space. That said, it's large and clunky and therefore impractical for all but the most whistle-intensive applications.Just imagine: you're being accosted by a psychopath in a jason mask who thinks you look like a chicken sandwich — he fires up his chainsaw and eyes you with lust as you reach into your knapsack to fumble for your safety whistle (because you'd never want to put this behemoth on a lanyard around your neck), and then...The only people who should buy this whistle are military drill instructors and insecure high school sports coaches, who have to have a whistle in their hot little hand at all times. Or maybe directionally-challenged hikers/backpackers with small children who don't mind rummaging around to find it in their rucksack. Or possibly lifeguards who.... no, nevermind, where is the lifeguard going to put this thing upon their person? There's no room!If you need a "safety whistle", I highly recommend you skip this thing and just get a standard gym whistle that can be worn around your neck on a lanyard. Capiche?

Fue recomendado por uno de mis guías de montaña, es indispensable en el kit de supervivencia

Esse apito tem um tamanho maior do que eu imaginava e também alcança um volume bem elevado de som, eu pesquisei antes de comprar, vi um vídeo que fazia comparação entre este apito da marca Storm e um da marca Tornado, e o Storm foi o que teve melhor desempenho em longa distância, podendo ser ouvido intensamente mesmo em centenas de metros. Como eu trabalho em serviço de guarda-vidas na praia, esse apito será de grande ajuda na prevenção de afogamentos.

This is one loud whistle! Excellent product. I bought it to go camping in case there are wild animals around the tent. This whistle is reasonably priced compared to its main competitor. Highly recommended!

Nice Sound and loudly thanks

Very loud!
