Now instead of a referee or coach lifting whistle to mouth and blowing action to a halt, in many cases the sound will emanate via a simple click of a hand-held device, somewhat akin to clicking a computer mouse.
How does a referee whistle work?
Air enters the whistle at one end. As the air reaches the other, closed end, all the air molecules “pile up” on top of each other and cause a high-pressure region. The air escapes out the little hole in the end, making the noise you hear. The frequency of the sound is dependent on the length of the whistle.
Can you whistle without teeth?
