The best product to have to help yourself if need be!

Comments about Windstorm All Weather Safety Whistle:

It is quite loud even with the mildest pressue being used. It will hurt your ears (don't use indoors unless emergency) but it will get attention, which IS the point. Its a bit bulkier compared to the ACR whistle (Item #: 70110) but is much louder. I have both and like the windstorm better, but if size is important then go with the ACR.

Comments about Windstorm All Weather Safety Whistle:

I compared four whistles and rated them by apparent loudness, how much force was required to blow, does it work if wet (in the water), and form factor.

Windstorm All Weather Safety Whistle #84739
Incredibly loud - hurt my ears (blew it outside, not in an enclosed space).
Easily the loudest BY FAR.
Loud enough to get attention even if blown lightly - important for kids
(If you just breath lightly through this whistle it is as loud as some others)
Best bet to be heard over boat motors, shouting, waves, wind etc.
Less compact than other designs but easily the winner for marine activities or diving (works under water).
Downside is it is bulkier, wouldn't necessarily want to carry for non-marine use

ACR whistle Item #70110
Pretty darned loud (comparable or louder than hard blow on "classic")
Loud enough to get attention even if blown lightly - important for kids
Distinct 2 tone sound (sounds like a train whistle) doesn't sound like a "sports whistle" so it will stand out.
Nice flat design easy to tuck into PFD
Pea-less design works in water.

Carey and Co Safety Whistle Item #39665
Classic pea whistle. Like what any coach would use.
Very loud, but I suppose it doesn't work well in the water.
Needs harder blow to get good strong sound.

Survival S.O.S Whistle Item #84603
Absolutely horrible. Even blowing hard didn't generate enough sound.
Regular "coach's whistle" much louder.

VERY!! loud and easy to blow. I haven't had the chance to try it underwater but, I have little doubt it would work. There are smaller whistles out there but if I'm freezing and can't feel my fingers I want something I can grab onto and easily initiate. Need I say more?
