A whistle (1), particularly a sports whistle, which is generally in the shape of a mandolin and has two whistle element sound chambers (2,3) arranged side-by-side and each having a cross section which is asymmetrical, preferably part-circular and part square. The sound chambers (2,3) are arranged so that the blowing pressure required to generate a sound pressure level of 90DbA and a maximum frequency of about 3.9KHz is only 0.5 p.s.i. The sound chambers (2,3) are separated from one another at each air vent (4,5) by a fin (F) of generally narrow width, and the entrance to each sound chamber is defined in part by a respective inclined inner wall (10,11) near the central longitudinal axis of the whistle. |
