I've read some reviews claim it's much louder than fox 40. Consider it's bigger and more expensive, just wondering if it's worth getting this one vs. fox 40.
I have a couple. They are extremely loud but also quite big for a whistle. I attach them to my Jeep key rings because they also make the keys almost impossible to lose.
I have been reading this site's Gear & Equipment section and refreshing my knowledge on knives and some other gear. If you haven't looked at it, it has great info.
I would highly recommend them. I keep several, including in my survival kit, geocaching bag, and more importantly, the kids geocaching bag.
Informal comparisons with other whistles outdoors seem to confirm that the Storm whistle is louder, and more easily heard over a distance. (At least here in Oklahoma!)
These are good loud whistles. MEC sells them along with the Fox whistle.

In my opinion I do not like them.They are big and bulky and therefore easier to leave behind.They also require more wind/breath to blow them.I had an upper respiratory infection and could not blow enough to make it work.A FOX 40 had the same outcome.A whistle that did work and I recommend is the ACR whistle.It is a little smaller than the FOX micro and almost as loud.I tend to get bronchitis easily in winter so this is my go2 whistle....
The Chart on the Windstorm page shows the Storm rated at between 106 and 107 decibels. The Fox 40 Sharx is rated at 120 decibels. However, as I understand that's only directly comparable if they emit the same audible frequency. Still looking for frequency info on the Fox 40 family. . .
