ACME Whistles: A key player in whistle manufacturing
- March 30, 2023
Sports and the whistle go way back, so much so that it’s hard to imagine many sports played without the piercing call of the whistle commanding the game. Whether they are used to call time, signal a point scored or a foul dealt, the sound of the whistle always manages to capture our attention whether we are on the pitch in play or are watching from the stands or in front of our screens.
Referees and coaches need an instant means of communication, usually in environments with high levels of background noise, that can signal to players over long distances. The simplicity of the whistle means it is an extension of the user’s voice, and using a whistle comes as naturally as a shout.
The sports whistles we make today are almost identical to the ones we manufactured decades ago. They have undergone refinements and improvements here and there and we have engineered new materials to craft our whistles, but the essence of our designs remains the same. Each one is made for superior quality, performance that can be relied on, and simple intuitive use.
While our whistles are favoured by major sporting organisations such as FIFA, the Rugby Football Union and England Netball to name a few, they are also immensely popular in the education sector and in clubs all over the world. As such, we recognise the need to create whistles for very different purposes and offer a complete range of pea whistles and airsoft whistles in metal and plastic construction.
Our most popular sports whistles
Without a doubt the ACME Thunderer is the world’s most iconic sports whistle. This is the most widely used of our whistles in the sporting sector and it is a winner with coaches and refs at all levels and for good reason. It is robust, reliable, and it looks great on a lanyard. We produce several different versions of this whistle, including a shatterproof plastic option that is one of our best sellers for sporting use.
The Thunderer is a traditional pea whistle that is perfect for most sporting applications, but pealess whistles such as the ultra loud airfast ACME Cyclone. While they don’t have the same trill as pea whistles, airfast whistles are capable of achieving the high decibels needed in the most demanding conditions and their plastic construction makes them a great choice for pool, marine and aquatic environments.
