Learning to Whistle

[Kaitzilla]

Took me 2 years to figure out how to do it.
All the guides on the internet are useless. (Click on the 4 steps button. It's not just the Karate Chop. Last step didn't work for me )

I just blew air like a bomb falling until a whistle-ish sound came out 2/3rd's of the way down the register. (Or you can go up like jet engine revving up)
Then I focused on that for a few days and expanded my range from that proto-whistle.

That hugely loud piercing whistle that can stop traffic using 2 fingers?
Still never figured out how to do it.

Anyone still struggling with whistling?
Never learned how?
Maybe this thread will help you to whistle "Pop Goes the Weasel" like Data on the 1st episode of Star Trek.

I tried for a decade or so and gave up. Maybe my mouth's just not the right shape.

Roger Whittaker teaches his audience to whistle:

And here's one of his signature pieces, "Mexican Whistler":

Next to him, everyone is an amateur!

(when I whistle, my cats usually give me their "shut up, Mom" look...)

Wow!
That is quite the song.

Hehe, I can't wiggle my ears at all.
People who do it must be wearing fake animatronic ears just to trick me.

I can flare my nose on command though.

I'm a lifelong non-whistler as well. The OP's link was completely useless (he did say that guides on the internet didn't work, but I can't tell if he's presenting it as an exception).

It takes practice. How's your singing?

 

[Perfection]

You just put your lips together, and blow.

Nonexistent. My voice literally can't carry most notes.

Uh uh.

I can whistle well inhaling, but not exhaling.

When I was a kid I took longer than most trying to figure out how to whistle, and then figured out the inhaling method first. Years later I figured out how to whistle exhaling, and soon forgot how to do so inhaling. A couple years later I figured out the inhaling method again, and then soon forgot the exhaling method.

You mean exhaling, I think.

Mouthwash, if you watch the first Roger Whittaker video I posted above, I believe he demonstrates how to whistle while inhaling.
