  1. Bend the thumb of your dominant hand a little inward and simultaneously bend the index finger of the same hand until the tip touches the tip of your thumb.
    • Your hand should be in the same position as when you make the "OK" gesture, and your thumb and forefinger should make a complete circle.
    • Note that it doesn't really matter what position your other fingers are in, as long as they don't bother you.
    • Although there are many other techniques for whistling, this one tends to be quite simple to understand and is said to produce the loudest sound.Apparently, a whistle with this technique can exceed 130 decibels, if done correctly.
  2. Moisten your upper and lower lip by running your tongue on both sides.There shouldn't be too much saliva at the corners of your mouth, but your lips should feel well moistened.
    • At this point, you should open your mouth wide.Keep your lips slightly tense against your teeth instead of letting them rest relaxed.
  3. Place the circle created with your index finger and thumb just in front of your mouth.Stick your tongue out until it presses where your fingers join to form the ring.
    • Press firmly.You should apply enough pressure with your tongue to cause the tip to curl up slightly.Make sure it's straight up, though, and not down.
  4. Bring your tongue back into your mouth along with your closed fingers.Close your lips around your fingers, leaving only a small gap between your lower lip and the inside of the ring created by your fingers.
    • Your lips should be mostly folded below your fingers at this point.[2]
    • The little hole between your fingers and your bottom lip is the "breather."Without it, you wouldn't be able to produce any sound.
    • Make sure all other areas around the breather are sealed.If air passes from anywhere else in front of your mouth, you won't get a loud whistle.
  5. Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale through the breather created by your fingers and lower lip.If done right, you should hear a loud, clear whistle.
    • Don't be discouraged if you can't do it on the first try.For many people, it takes time and practice to hone this whistling technique.
    • Typically, the more breath you blow out, the higher the sound will be.Just make sure your breath is focused and tight, rather than so strong that it escapes everywhere in one breath.

Factors for Loud Whistling

  1. For most amateur whistlers, there are four stages or phases involved in learning to whistle properly.For some, a fifth stage is also added.Once you've completed each phase, there are several steps you can take to get through the next one.
    • The first stage is the "ventilated" one.At this stage, you will feel the air blowing, but there will be no real whistle to be heard.The best thing to do during this stage is to review the steps needed to blow the whistle and check yourself at each point.Make small changes to each component, especially finger position and lip tension, until you reach the next step.
    • The second stage is the "jet engine".At this point, you will hear a sound similar to that of a jet engine on standby.It will be something similar to a whistle, but not piercing enough to sound like a real whistle.From here the problem is mostly to reposition your fingers until you can get a clearer sound.
    • The third stage is that of the "lost whistle", during which a whistle can be heard, but remains weak and airy.This is because your breath passes through other places besides the blowhole, so you will have to narrow the closures made by your tongue and lips.
    • The fourth major stage is the "skill whistle", during which a powerful, clear and leakless whistle can be heard.
    • The fifth step (optional) is just a higher version of the skill whistle.If your whistling sound is clear but still faint, you may not be putting enough force into your breathing.Simply exhale harder.
  2. Your lower lip should be tense.Don't just push on it with your fingers.
    • A good way to practice the right amount of tension on your lower lip is to practice setting your lips where they should be without using your fingers.Study the shape of your lips in the mirror, and when you can clearly see what looks like a tight lower lip, keep the sensation in mind.
    • When it comes time to practice whistling with your fingers again, focus on the sensation of your lower lip and match it to what you felt when you practiced in the mirror.
  3. You won't be able to whistle clearly if your fingers and lips are dry.At the same time, you don't want to have too much saliva flying out of your mouth and flying everywhere.
    • If you're a little dehydrated or have trouble keeping your lips moist, you can try wetting your lips under a running sink before practicing whistling.
    • Also remember to moisten your lips periodically as you practice, as they may dry out before you perfect the technique.
  4. When you squeeze your tongue into the ring formed by your fingers, there should be enough pressure to cause your tongue to curl upward.
    • Only the tip of the tongue should bend upwards, not the whole.
    • Also, you should feel your tongue slightly tense as you press.Make sure the bulk of the pressure is done by your tongue and not your fingers.
  5. The size of the breather will probably be the thing that will require the most modifications and repositioning.It should be wide enough to let air pass through without problems, but not so much that it all blows out at once.
    • There is little practical advice to give on how to control the space left for the breather.All you can do is try and try again until you find something that works.
  6. Obviously, more air being forced through the breather means a louder sound.Too much air can cause a decrease in the quality of the whistle, however.
    • If you force out too much air too quickly, you could end up weakening the seals between your fingers and the rest of your mouth, allowing excess air to escape around the breather rather than through it.
    • Make sure the air you release is directed to the vent and nowhere else.
    • Note that the volume of air moving through the space will essentially change the volume and pitch of your whistle, once the rest of the technique is perfected.

  1. Lower your jaw a little and pull the corners of your mouth back, stretching them so they're looking in the direction of your ears.Keep your lower lip stretched against your bottom teeth and tuck your upper lip over your top teeth.
    • Your bottom teeth should no longer be visible.Your top teeth may be, but it will probably be easier to produce a louder whistle if your top teeth are.
    • If you need a little help, you can squeeze your index and middle fingers together on each side of your mouth to pull your lip back.Don't put your fingers in your mouth, however.
    • You can still produce a very loud whistle with this method, but you will need more control of the muscles involved in the whistle, so it can be difficult to do.
  2. Curl your tongue so that it is "suspended" in your mouth just before your bottom front teeth.
    • The front of the tongue should flatten against the teeth and along the sides.Keep your tongue curled in toward the center to create a blowhole or sharply angled space.
    • The sound will be created when air is forced to pass over the lip and bottom teeth.
  3. Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale sharply, forcing the air through the space between your tongue and teeth.If done correctly, you should hear a clear whistle.
    • Start by blowing the air lightly until you can hear a low whistle.This will let you know that the technique is right.
    • Once you get the technique right, exhale with more force and more air to increase the volume.

Advice

  • Wash your hands when you whistle with your fingers, to avoid spreading bacteria.
  • Test your technique in the mirror, so you can more easily see what you're doing right and what you're doing wrong.
