How many ways can you whistle?

Recommended Posts

So I've been trying to teach myself to tongue-whistle, largely due to it's practical usefulness, and I was just wondering: how many different ways can all y'all whistle? (Using your own body, so no grass or acorn whistling.)

 

And for that matter, what other cool sounds can you make?

For a while i used to be able to whistle by using my index and middle finger, but i forgot how to a while ago, but after that, I learned how to do it with just my lips, so i guess that all shaked out in the end. A friend of mine also taught me to bird whistle by clasping both hands together with a gap between the thumbs (Im sure there's videos online about various ways to do it)

I have two main whistling styles: inspiring and expiring. I can make the sound while blowing out or sucking in air. As for the sounds, my whistling basically reaches most of the notes, allowing me to compose or play songs I like like Polyushke Polya, Shadow on the sun and other songs anytime I want to, which is way more fun than any iPod.

I can suck in and make a whistling sound and then I can whistle normally. Nothing more really :T.

I can't whistle at all.

 

I am pretty good at lip squeaking to sound like a baby bird or small rodent for coaxing predators in close. I can do it with just my mouth but it usually works better if you use the back of your hand to "smooch" against.

I can only whistle one way, and that is with my mouth. Other then that I can't whistle. I can't really see how to whistle with the fingers.

Well, the classic method of whistling outwards through your lips, but I can alternate between inhaling and exhaling really well. I almost never have to pause to take a breath unless I'm whistling really high notes. I can also whistle through my teeth, but it's nowhere near as sharply as the classic method.
