Is this the real loudest whistle yet?

thingiverse

Ok so I was fascinated by this loudest whistle game that seems to be happening on here. So I printed several and did my own comparisons. Firstly, I tried the surprisingly infamous V29. It was really quite mediocre, not that loud and requires loads of puff! Bulky too. Anyway, after much experimental printing I came to the conclusion that Whistleblowers compact ones were the pretty much the best of the many I tried. I found that the original one (V1?) was slightly better than the V2, but both were quite amazing. So I took the V1 and did some experiments with simple scaling up and down on different axis. The sweet spot result (so far! further tweaks may be possible?) are the two very simple scaled up remixes I’m submitting here. I’m certain these are significantly louder than the 1:1 scale whistles (which themselves are already very LOUD!). They also have lower frequency resonant beating tones so are more pleasing to my ears anyway. Try them, and see what you think. Just please watch your ears!! These are literally on the 'threshold of pain' I would welcome your 'colourful' humorous reports in comments. The two files are self explanatory...... V1 +25% V1 +35% I’m not going to start quoting decibels etc. To measure that absolutely with any degree of accuracy requires very expensive equipments and anechoic chambers etc etc. Also, the distance and orientation from whistle to mic makes all the difference. Almost anything can go off the scale if it’s close enough! dB meters are useful for making relative comparisons between whistles, providing the test method remains identical across all the samples. Thanks to Whistleblower for the source V1 whistle. A superb yet elegantly simple design. I don’t claim any originality on this thing. All I did was scale the originals (and some others too) and nearly blow myself inside out testing the things. These are head and shoulders above the others IMO, especially the so called 140dB etc DISCLAIMER...... Use only with ear protection! This is not a kids toy! If this thing causes any hearing damage to anyone, anywhere, I take no responsibility. You have been warned.
