I was prompted by a post on another forum to compare the small, pea type whistle I carry to a full size Fox 40. With my wife at the other end of the house I first tried one and then the other and then mixed them up a couple of times. In all cases my wife reported that the little $2.50 blue whistle I got at EMS was louder than the Fox <img src="images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> This wasn't a truly scientific experiment but interesting none-the-less.

Has anyone had a similar observation/experience?
