I have tried many times, but I never managed to do it consistently. Sometimes it comes a very faint whistle, but then I am unable to repeat it. :P

When I was a kid I couldn't whistle no matter how hard I tried. I gave up for a long while. One day, I saw a video about a man who was very good at whistling. Then I started practicing again, and for about 2 months of blowing nothing but the wind. I can finally whistle. I can say that I'm pretty good at it, and that's the end of my story.

I have already posed in this thread (yes I can whistle) but I'm wondering something.

 

What makes you able to whistle really? I mean it has to do with the way that you blow out the air and not as much about how you shape your lips. The reason I say this is because I am able to whistle no matter what kind of weird... "pose" I have my mouth in ( while(mouthOpeningDiameterMM<=15){canWhistle==true;}  //haha) Anyway, I can keep my mouth in the exact shape while blowing out air in different strengths but still get no sound, but then all of sudden, I do the same but somehow blow out the air in a different way (don't ask me I have no idea how it works haha) and there's sound!

I can whistle fairly decently. I can't do that loud one to attract attention, but I do enjoy whistling tunes. It's fun to try and whistle complex tunes/along with songs :D

The way I understand it (From reading one article off the internet xD) is your mouth has a resonance frequency (Varying depending on tongue position and mouth size). When you blow air at a certain rate it matches this frequency and your mouth amplifies it (I think it's a type of constructive interference? idunno). Blowing harder allows the air to vibrate faster, and if that frequency matches the resonance frequency, you produce a louder whistle.

Why yes -- yes I can. :P It took me awhile to figure it out when I was younger. My brother would laugh at me when I was blowing nothing but soundless air. But look whose whistling now! Huzzah! :lol:

Yep I can whistle!

I actually can also do it unintentionally. Any words I say that begin with "Sh" on some occasions will come out accompanied by a whistle. I'm not sure why, but I'm guessing it's to do with my teeth. You have no idea how many awkward positions this "special talent" has put me in
