Steve Mould explores the physics of how different whistles work, including kettle whistles, slide whistles, sports whistles, and a bird water whistle.
From the video
Answers: How do different types of whistles work?
- How whistles work
- Kettle whistle physics
- Slide whistle cavity resonance
- Air stream oscillation in whistles
- Whistle pitch and flow rate
What it concludes
- A standard kettle whistle produces sound using two adjacent holes where oscillating air streams interrupt each other.
- Slide whistles rely on a cavity whose size and shape determine its natural resonating frequency.
- Sports whistles use a loop and ball mechanism that repeatedly interrupts the incoming air stream to create tone.
