What is Whistles For Life?
Industry-recognized emergency whistle
Whistles for Life’s whistles equip you with the most important tool for being found in a life-or-death situation: the ability to be heard.
Whistles for Life is the only whistle on the market that can provide a full spectrum of sound frequencies from a single blow of the whistle. The key to our whistle’s loud, distinct sound is in its three-chambered design: two pea-less side chambers that produce omnidirectional sounds at different frequencies, and a center chamber with a waterproof pea that produces a powerful 120-decibels staccato sound. This whistle can be heard over large crowds, emergency vehicles, water, and other natural noises to alert that help is needed.
This shatterproof whistle is made from high-impact ABS plastic which makes it extremely durable and strong, and the waffle grip was added to ensure a firm grasp in almost any condition. With Whistles for Life’s universal locking clip, you can be assured that your whistle will always be with you during any emergency situation.

The whistle can be very loud but I think you should include some instructions on or in the package. I found the volume and output frequency is variable depending on the position that you hold the whistle in (whistle body held horizontally or pointing up or down), the intensity with which a person blows air into it, and especially how tightly a persons mouth covers the mouthpiece (how airtight it is around the mouthpiece).

I have been evaluating whistles for at least 20 yrs in 3 areas of interest: 1. Earthquakes (trapped for days), 2. Women’s defense, and 3. Kids lost. Your whistle is in my everyday vest for serious times. But it cannot be blown by Kids or for days trapped, for that I have the Attwood 11829-6 with a Nitecore Tip 2 light around my neck 24/7.

I was sent the wrong product. Instead of whistles, I was sent the window breaker/seatbelt cutter tools.

The perfect item for a key chain. It is light weight so it won’t be too heavy to use on a key chain. It is soooo loud. It is the perfect safety item for everyone.
