Expand your range with ACME Whistles
- April 20, 2023
With more than 135 years of experience in designing and manufacturing whistles, ACME Whistles is a true stalwart of the British manufacturing industry. These days, the list of traditionally British-made products is shorter than ever before and much of our national manufacturing power has been moved overseas. In a market full of imports, we are proud that every ACME whistle is still manufactured to world-leading standards in Birmingham.
We are firm believers in learning from our past and improving, but we also know that the old ways are still the best in certain instances. For example, the fact that most of our whistles are hand-tooled using original machinery means that each one gets the full, undivided attention of our skilled craftsmen and women. The result is a superior product that is built to last and guaranteed to work perfectly.
The ACME Whistles best-selling models
We are keen innovators in the industry of sound solutions and over the years our designs have taken many forms. With time we have honed our range of specialty whistles to cover all the core bases, and the resulting collection is curated to fill any requirement. Perhaps our most iconic whistle, the ACME Thunderer is a true best-seller that always does well. It is an extremely versatile model that is made to a range of specifications.
The Thunderer is especially popular in the sports, education and rail sectors, though its multipurpose function means it’s a great fit in almost any scenario. A choice of metal or shatter-proof plastic construction further extends the appeal of these reliable little workhorses.
While the Thunderer is one of our most versatile whistles, our dog whistles are among our most specialised. We provide a range of whistles which are specially designed to capture a dog’s attention over long distances and in challenging conditions, facilitating clear, effective communication between an owner and their animal.
The ACME ALPHA is a world-leading dog whistle that we have developed in partnership with champion dog trainers, and is a brand new release for spring 2023. It is already proving to be a hit with dog owners and dog training professionals alike because the sound produced is clearer and more crisp than ever before, increasing the working range by 17% compared to the original 211 ½ and 210 ½.
Many of our whistles are as popular for their historic importance as they are for their superior quality and performance. For example, the Metropolitan Police whistle was invented by ACME Whistles company founder, Joseph Hudson, more than 150 years ago. At the time it was a revolution in policing, allowing constables and beat bobbies to communicate with each other on London’s smoggy Victorian streets. Today, they remain part of our core range and are always a popular choice.
