船での仕事の号令用に購入しました。 とても重厚感があり、風の強い日でも聞き取りやすい安定した音が出せます。 一生物として大事に使いたいです。

Much louder than those backpack buckle whistles. Both the backpack whistle and this one were audible at 1/4 mile. This whistle was imo 70dB while the backpack whistle was around 55dB at that range. Just my opinion from experience with dB. Still want to test this at ranges of up to 1 mile & possible 1.5 miles. Pros: -First time you blow this thing hard (tongue blocking air hole - then quickly remove) - you will likely hurt your ears. I learned the hard way. Just a warning.... it can be loud with assertive blows. -blowing takes minimal lung capacity (I have Asthma) Cons: -I have extremely sensitive ears (yes I hear most electronics & nearly all tvs and chargers) ----> Meaning I had to cut the metal keyfob ring out and replace it with rope to avoid excess noise ----> hole was too small for 5040H paracord - likely could be drilled out ----> used neon yellow mason line instead -Was whistling in a PA state forest this past weekend around people & it did not seem to immediately grab their attention or piss them off. I want a whistle where people instinctively are like: "OMG WHAT IS GOING ON?! SOMEONE COULD BE LOST - LET'S FIND THEM!!" Having said that I was approx. 100ft from said individuals & my hiking partners were laughing. It could've been the vibe. I encourage you to test every part of your survival equipment. I will likely fail to post back after further testing unless the whistle spontaneously combusts. Apologies in advance.

Ich kann diese Pfeife wirklich empfehlen. Es ist leider selten geworden, dass man für relativ wenig Geld echte Qualität bekommt. Die Pfeifen von ACME sind so ein Relikt aus der guten, alten Zeit. Sie ist unfassbar laut, so laut, dass es in den Ohren schmerzt, wenn man stark reinpustet, für die Größe relativ schwer, was sie noch wertig er wirken lässt und sieht dazu noch gut aus. Außerdem ist sie eine der kleinsten Pfeifen die man so kaufen kann und fällt am Schlüsselbund kaum auf. Aufgrund der kleinen Bauform ist sie auch relativ schrill. Ein etwas tiefere Ton wäre mir persönlich lieber, gibt aber natürlich keinen Abzug in der Gesamtwertung.

Davvero ben fatto. Fischio molto intenso. Anche come alert per malintenzionati

I purchased this hoping for an efficient way to command attention in a busy environment, and this whistle has proven to be absolutely exceptional. As a PE teacher in high school, having a reliable and powerful whistle is crucial, and this one has exceeded all expectations. From the moment you hold it, you can tell it's very well built. The construction feels solid and robust, instilling confidence that it can withstand the rigors of daily use in a dynamic setting. This isn't a flimsy whistle that feels like it will break or jam after a few uses. Its most impressive feature is undoubtedly its volume and clarity. This is a loud whistle that cuts through noise effortlessly. I can confirm that I can hear it from extremely far distances, even across large sports fields filled with student activity. This projection is invaluable for managing games, drills, and ensuring safety across wide areas. For anyone needing a dependable, high-quality whistle that delivers powerful sound and stands up to tough use, this is an outstanding choice. It's an indispensable tool for coaches, referees, or anyone who needs to be heard clearly from a distance.
