Finally some practical testing with lots of variation. Big thank you. For my work as a swimming pool attendant/life guard I daily use a: • Fox40 Pearl (90dB) - in case of nice and small attention "Hey, could you please... yeah thank you!" • Acme Tornado 2000 (122dB) - in case of emergency and big attention "ATTENTION: You do as I say! NOW!" They never have let me down or did dissapoint me. Never in the usetime of the past 10 years. I check my co-workers whistles each summer saison and offer them to choose&buy between some models of Fox40 and Acme.

I came here because I've been researching the effectiveness (i.e. loudness) of electronic whistles. This excellent demonstration proves what I suspected - that electronic whistles are simply not capable of generating any where near the volume of a manual whistle. The electronic whistle was even quieter than the cheap, unbranded whistle.

Unfortunately, this is proving what I suspected from the beginning: the electronic whistles can't stand up to the real thing. I'm a soccer official, swimming official, and pool manager; a good whistle is crucial. No way that an electronic whistle will be heard in a crowded aquatic center or stadium. (Personal favorites for me are Fox40 Classic/Pearl/Sonik or Acme Thunderer. Thunderer is easier to blow if you need a solid whistle but don't have the lung power for the Fox40 line.)

Few interesting conclusions I found: 1. It seems that electronic whistles are really weak, although some manufacturers claim that they are louder. 2. Unbranded cheap whistles are bad but fake fox40 by China actually seems not that bad, that's same as my experience. I used them in high school several years ago. Comparing with my current fox40 classic...similar sound power but sounds not that clear as the original one. It is much cheaper, maybe $1~$2 each. For someone needs a whistle better than a toy store one and wants to save money, Chinese fake fox40 might be a good choice. My personal suggestions: (Overall: fox40 blast>fox 40 classic>rest I had) 1. Molten valkeen is not that great considering its price, very high. I thought I wasted some money after I got mine(or maybe I don't know how to blow it?). If you just want best sound power I recommend fox40 blast. I found it is even easier to make it aloud than fox40 classic, but might be harder to control. My sports teacher at high school also told me that she recommended me to use classic for training and blast for refereeing as she did. 2. I think acme T2000 is cheaper than fox40 classic and it seems a bit louder than it(I tried). However I don't like it because it's ugly XDDDDD. If you don't mind it would be a great choice for you. 3. I think fox40 epic and eclipse are not as good as fox40 classic. They sound a little bit shaper?(I'm unsure) 4. I just use pea whistle for fun and I recommend not to use pea whistle as a referee lol If you have ideas on better whistle on reasonable price I will have a try.

After this video I am 100% confident that pealeess whistles are a must if you want that professional appearance.
