-20 if not more,Celsius? The problem with pea whistles is,moving parts & if the pea were to malfunction,stick,disintegrate,etc. the chamber didn't produce enough sound to be audible.Myth or Not,An emergency is not the time one would like the chance,for this to happen,Even if it's a slim chance!Personally,I would like to get by with more than the hair of my chinny chin chin,How about you,Aaa!

I have a flat 3 chambered TOPS brand whistle slipped behind my multi tool I EDC, but have gone back a more robust traditional brass whistle with pea as part of my key chain group...I lost the mini Fox from the AMK... assume the ring let go....in a non scientific test of the three.. at my declining age I hear the frequency range of the traditional whistle with trill better

I'm getting conflicting opinions on the Whistles for Life Safety Whistle. I carry a Fox 40 Classic on my key chain. How can I know which is the best key chain size whistle (something smaller than The Storm)?

There is nothing wrong with the Whistles for Life whistle or the Fox 40. Either will function fine for 99.9999999% of any person's needs.

People get too caught up in semantics and opinions that offer no comparison to real world situations. This can be applied to all gear such as what is the best cup, stove, backpack, knife grind, flashlight and so on. Choose the gear that is right for your needs, and stay away from junk knockoff gear and you will be fine...

One time I used my Fox 40 Classic, rated 115 decibels, and no one in close proximity heard it. A guy on the other side of the fence was mowing the lawn. Would the multi frequencies of the Whistles for Life Safety Whistle have made a difference over the noise of the lawn mower?
