I've bought multiple Fox 40 whistles, emergency boating whistles and aluminum British police style whistles. This whistle is by far the loudest whistle I have ever heard. I do a lot of mountain biking on trails alone, so I like the safety factor of having a really loud whistle and a really bright LED flashlight with strobe and SOS modes in case I get injured biking and am too hurt to hike out of the woods. I also bike on multi-use trails, with joggers, walkers, dog-walkers and even horses sometimes. I don't try to spook horses, but many joggers and walkers wear stereo in-ear earbuds (I never bike with earbuds in, because it's way too dangerous), so if I'm coming up behind someone, especially with a dog, I try to give them a heads up as far away as possible with a quick whistle toot, because it's too easy to startle a human or a dog that is not realize you are rapidly approaching from behind, and if you are riding at 20-25 mph, it's not very hard to stop if they jump in your intended path at the last moment.

Each of the two whistles I got seem to to have slightly different pitch. One seems like both chambers are perfectly matched in pitch, and one seems like the two chambers have a slightly different pitch. But they are both REALLY loud.

My 2 whistles came with a bonus 3rd mini aluminum single chamber whistle. Not nearly as loud as the two main whistles, but super small and light, so I keep it attached to my car keys. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

I bought these whistles based on the good reviews. I did receive them on time and was pleased with the extra lanyard that came with it. I am disappointed that only one of them works. Paid for a pair and one is useless. UPDATE! I have changed my rating to 5 stars. Unexpectedly today I received two more whistles in the mail. Both work beautifully and super loud. I can only assume the seller read my review and took it upon themselves to make my order right. Excellent product and customer service. Thank you.

I bought the black whistle ENTIRELY because the photo shows a MACHINED and HARD ANODIZED aluminum whistle, unlike the $1 cheesy cast, bead blasted whistle shown in the second photo. Admittedly, the whistle works ok, but I collect and wear one everyday and I like an exceptional product, I already have several of the cheesy ones. Rather than waste my time getting to the UPS store 32 miles away, I just made these whistles as gifts to friends. FURA makes a whistle of similar quality but much better sound. I currently wear the Fenix NW20. My message to the seller...stop misrepresenting what you are offering. Other than that this piece would get no more than three stars.

I have always been a fan of Fox40 whistles. Problem with them is they get dirty after some time. Not easy to clean especially when the plastic is badly scuffed up. A friend recommended Michael Josh whistle so I give it a try and I am not disappointed. This whistle is loud, although not as loud as Fox40. However, I find Michael Josh whistle is easier to blow. A small puff of air is enough to produce very loud sound. Fox40 sounds sharp (higher pitch) and piercing. Michael Josh sounds rounded, which reminds me British police whistle. It is as lightweight as Fox40 when attach to my keychain. Oh, they are so much easier to clean. Just wash under running tap will do. Good as new! Overall, a very satisfing whistle to add to my collection.

Very good quality and extremely loud. Looks well made.

I am using this as a recall tool to train my puppy. I don't even try to blow very hard purposely and it is still loud, but not deafening.

However if you want to use it to its full potential it is definitely LOUD.

Works great with the pup, he comes running every time. Again I use it softly for the sake of my pup's ears and so my neighbors don't go crazy.

Will be using the second one for emergencies, so turned out great to have 2. Highly recommended for both training and emergencies.

Dog whistles are supposed to whistle at a frequency higher than human hearing. It should be nearly silent to our own ears. This whistle is extremely loud and elicits no reaction from my dog. I don’t know how it got so many positive reviews. Either they are not sending everyone the same product or people really don’t know what they are supposed to be getting. If you want a whistle so loud it pops you and your dogs ear drums then this is a great product. If you want a real dog whistle look elsewhere as I will be doing the same.

I wanted a whistle to take with me when I go hiking, but there are so many whistles sold on Amazon that I wasn't sure which one to choose. I finally opted to purchase these Michael Josh whistles and am very happy with that decision. The whistles appear to be high quality, and I like the fact that they come with both a lanyard and a carabiner. When they arrived, I tried both of them while inside my home and I can attest to the fact that they are definitely LOUD! Hope I never have to use them, but I have packed them in my backpack for my next hiking trip just in case.

During a recent ski trip a fellow skier mentioned carrying a safety whistle while skiing. It had never occurred to me but since I mostly ski alone and occasionally get into remote areas it struck me as a really good idea. Maybe you never need it but invaluable if you do.

I looked around and came across this one which appeared to be simple, effective, and virtually indestructible. I was not disappointed. It's super loud and my ears rang when I tested it it in my kitchen. FYI, not recommended for indoor use!

I didn't use the lanyard or carabiner (they're great for other purposes) and removed the little chain, eliminating the most obvious failure points. I simply used the included keyring to attach the whistle body directly to the zipper pull on my jacket so it's close by if needed. I was concerned maybe it would flap around in the wind while skiing but I've had it there for many ski trips now and not once been reminded it's there.

Bought this as a 2-pack, for use with dogs and generally about to signal people too far away for voice alone.

The specs say 150dB loud - I've no sensible way to test that, but if you blow hard enough it will hurt your ears a little. The dogs can definitely hear it and if you blow it inside, you'll upset a fair few people!
Tone-wise, it's quite shrill and with a trilling sound similar to the referee's whistle with a pea in the chamber. Comes with a keyring and a selection of attachments, but is easy enough to fix your own choie of cord or lanyard to the end.
You can easily cover one of the slots, if you have such a need.

Unfortunately I won't be using these whilst hiking and climbing mountains. I bought them because I am disabled and the last time i fell in my garden and broke my hip it took rather a long time for anyone to hear me calling for help. Hopefully I won't have another fall but if I do, I think this whistle will bring me help sooner.

These are great. Nice looking and very loud. I used to get a lot of prank calls. Used this once, they didn't call back. Brilliant.

Bought for doing the D of E - well made, nice design, and VERY loud! Both come with a karribiner and the seller kindly sent a gift of a leather key ring. Hopefully more robust than a plastic version too!

Pack contained two all metal whistles - very loud and piercing sound ~ two lanyards - two lightweight carabiner style clips. Whistles seem well made and robust ~ hopefully will last a couple of seasons, but time will tell.

Great little whistle. Makes a loud and clear sound. I use it while trekking and cycling, it's perfect for scaring off aggressive sheepdogs or getting attention.

Very useful to add your outdoor nicnacks eg: whistle, penknife, compass and keys.
Very quick delivery. Great seller.

Super loud and super slick looking!! I love it!

2 carabiners and lanyards were supplied, with these very loud whistles. Nice brushed metal finish too. Very happy.

Great

Arrive on time and easily went through my letter box. I can't believe the wonderful shrill whistle and value for money. Fantastic.

Great value

A good sounding whistle and does the job for all to hear

A very clear sound, lightweight, and at a competitive price.

For my 2 grandsons. They were over the moon.
