Whistle really loud with no fingers

I decided that this would be the first thing I did on my list, so I googled “whistling technique” and found this site: http://www.natwilson.com/stuff/whistle.html so far its been pretty helpful, but I think I’m trying a little too hard, my lips hurt. ( ’^ c ^)

The only way I know how to do this is to pull your lower lip tight against your bottom teeth and then put your tongue against it and down. The goal is to make a little pocket, kind of like when you blow over a coke bottle. You really have to play around with it. I can’t remember when I learned it but it was over 20 years ago. I don’t know how to do it using my fingers either.
This does come in handy for a ton of things but watch out who you are next to when you do it. I get some pissy looks when someone is too close. It’s very loud!

After a whole year of huffing and puffing, I can finally whistle loudly with no fingers. I’m still a bit inconsistent and I can’t always get it on the first try but I think it’s a success all the same. Excuse me now while I pass out from lack of oxygen. I have to stop whistling so much :)

First of all, I need to learn how to whistle with my fingers, then I will get trough this.

I can whistle is..Well if you ever played or wathced someone play Final FantasyX or X-2, and you know how yuna and tidus have that “Come here quickly” call, and that which they whistle with their fingers to find each other… Yea, anyways, thats the only way i know how to whistle, and barely at that! So sad!...
What’d i need to know how to whistle for anyways….! Hmph…

‘tho, unfortunately, no one like Bogart ever showed up

I’d just be content being able to whistle normally and not like a wounded seal.

I’ve been trying on and off for a few months and can’t get the hang of it. Am I missing something?

I’m still working on it but it’s a whistle! my neighbor can do it really loud with her 4 fingers, two from each hand but i’m getting louder and when i did it i jokely pointed out that I can do something she cant do when she is whistling. I whistled again and clapped at the same time…turns out she cant whistle without her fingers. with jobs i do i like fingerless better. if im doing traffic detail and i’ve been working with all kinds of stuff all day the last thing i want to do is put fingers in my mouth, winter wont be fun with fingers and driving truck on my other job i get pretty dirty just hooking up trailers and doing inspections on my truck, even with gloves on.

i’m looking for more posts on the mechanics of it but i think i’ve gotten it down well enough that i can do it on my own besides i think thats the real secret, you’ve got to just keep trying.

I just got back from Mexico, and I swear everyone down there can whistle super loud, no fingers. I want to mexi-whistle too!
Basically my strategy is to try and make that face that people make when they whistle really loud, and then figure out all the internal teeth-and-tongue details after that. Besides, if I have the look nailed but my whistle comes out like a feeble hiss, people will just think I’m having an off-day.
