There is no doubt that different whistle users have different styles of blowing their chosen whistles. The classic example, often quoted in whistle lore, is the world-famous rugby referee whistle.
It is designed to offer a range of sounds depending on how the breath pressure is varied. This enables the referee to “talk” with their whistle, which is thanks to the thoughtful and tried and tested design of our sports whistle models.
A gentle blow of the rugby referee whistle can be given to signal to the players, “enough of that, I’ve seen you, no more now!” Alternatively, a strong, furious blow can say ”that is a serious offence, do that again and you’ll be sent off.“
It can be so expressive that a blind man, listening to a game of rugby, could tell by the referee’s use of the whistle, exactly what the atmosphere of the match was, at bad tempered times and lighthearted ones.
