Size-wise, not even close to a Micro.

Size is not always as important as other considerations. We're planning a canoe trip this spring and I'm looking for the best whistle to clip to each PFD. The Sharx and Sonik Blast have higher sound ratings than the Micro, according to this chart. Your thoughts?

If size is not an issue then I'd highly recommend a Storm whistle. It is stunningly loud, and, after all, that's what a whistle is all about.

The somewhat smaller and more streamlined Windstorm is no slouch, but noticeably less loud than the Storm.

I like the look of these I just hope I don't confuse it with my grippy lighter and accidentally burn my lips and burn my goatee off. LOL

In our highly unscientific initial tests, the new whistles were on par with the Storm. Very loud!

Guess that's why they call it a shark.... since you mention it, I just looked at their site and didn't see dimentions on the micro or the shark, how much bigger is it(relative to ______sized object or measurements)?

The chart from the Stormwhistles website shows the Storm at 106-107 decibels.

Assuming the same calibration and veracity in the testing, that makes the Sharx 14 decibels louder -- significant. I have a Sharx on order to see just how "effortless" (their word) it is to blow.
