    Does anybody have any idea what the best whistle to buy would be?
    I have recently had a cheap pea whistle but it was not very loud and I have just lost it.
    I am looking for a whistle that can be heard over quite long distances whilst outdoors.

    Thanks

    I know it sounds like a joke, but Acme do make cracking whistles (the company predates Wylie Coyote :) )
    The good old Acme Metropolitan police whistle is the best, my dad had one of these from way back, before the police stopped issuing them, they're VERY loud. Those police forces that still have the whistle chain as part of the dress uniform are now just that, the chain :(

    the new pealess ones are supposed to be best, sometimes when you are really blowin into them the pea can lock up and it just whispers. new ones will get louder the harder you blow, that is, until you literally make the whistle explode. :duh:
