Acme Thunderer Whistle 60.5, Small, High, Loud | Safety and Sports

Much louder than those backpack buckle whistles. Both the backpack whistle and this one were audible at 1/4 mile. This whistle was imo 70dB while the backpack whistle was around 55dB at that range. Just my opinion from experience with dB. Still want to test this at ranges of up to 1 mile & possible 1.5 miles. Pros: -First time you blow this thing hard (tongue blocking air hole - then quickly remove) - you will likely hurt your ears. I learned the hard way. Just a warning.... it can be loud with assertive blows. -blowing takes minimal lung capacity (I have Asthma) Cons: -I have extremely sensitive ears (yes I hear most electronics & nearly all tvs and chargers) ----> Meaning I had to cut the metal keyfob ring out and replace it with rope to avoid excess noise ----> hole was too small for 5040H paracord - likely could be drilled out ----> used neon yellow mason line instead -Was whistling in a PA state forest this past weekend around people & it did not seem to immediately grab their attention or piss them off. I want a whistle where people instinctively are like: "OMG WHAT IS GOING ON?! SOMEONE COULD BE LOST - LET'S FIND THEM!!" Having said that I was approx. 100ft from said individuals & my hiking partners were laughing. It could've been the vibe. I encourage you to test every part of your survival equipment. I will likely fail to post back after further testing unless the whistle spontaneously combusts. Apologies in advance.

This is the gold standard for whistles for lifeguards, officials, referees and coaches. I have a 30 year-old Acme Thunderer and it still looks and works like new. Excellent sound, nice weight and a very durable whistle. Some have said that whistles with a pea inside often fail over time. I have used this whistle for decades, often in a humid swimming pool environment, and the pea has never gotten stuck or broken. Pea whistles have a more pronounced sound that travels farther and really gets attention. The Acme Thunderer sounds exactly the way a whistle should sound: loud, clear and decisive. The Acme Thunderer is the best!

This is a great whistle. The 4866 thunderer is a metal whistle that is made in England. I first brought this whistle over 8 years ago. It is a loud, light weight and very durable product. I use this whistler on a frequent basis. Over the years, it did get some chips around the edges. However, it still works as though I brought it yesterday. I have major complaints on this product except for the little chips. I just brought a new one to include in our emergency survival kit that I am putting together. The price on Amazon is much cheaper than what I paid for initially at the retal store. I would definitely recommend this for any looking for a great whistle at a good price.

Loud and works well!

A great tool. I immediately realized that it is at a much higher level than conventional whistles. It is very loud and robust. I'm sure it will last me for many years.

great

I loved the whistles. Worked great as expected. Used for Drum Major tryouts and performances. The Ultimate of Drum Major whistles.

Amazing little whistle, you won't believe the blast you get out of it. Compact and incredibly durable - I've had have mine for 45 years (seriously!), got this one for my wife. We use them on bike rides for signaling. From a British company that has been around for 150 years supplying these, police whistles, and even the clickers that they used during D-Day (look it up). The real deal and a bargain. Just buy it, you won't be sorry but you will be heard!

音質、音量共に素晴らしい商品です。警備業務をしている限り使い続けると思います。

Well made, worth the premium. Goes as loud as you dare. Will hurt your ears.

Ich kann diese Pfeife wirklich empfehlen. Es ist leider selten geworden, dass man für relativ wenig Geld echte Qualität bekommt. Die Pfeifen von ACME sind so ein Relikt aus der guten, alten Zeit. Sie ist unfassbar laut, so laut, dass es in den Ohren schmerzt, wenn man stark reinpustet, für die Größe relativ schwer, was sie noch wertig er wirken lässt und sieht dazu noch gut aus. Außerdem ist sie eine der kleinsten Pfeifen die man so kaufen kann und fällt am Schlüsselbund kaum auf. Aufgrund der kleinen Bauform ist sie auch relativ schrill. Ein etwas tiefere Ton wäre mir persönlich lieber, gibt aber natürlich keinen Abzug in der Gesamtwertung.

Davvero ben fatto. Fischio molto intenso. Anche come alert per malintenzionati

I purchased this hoping for an efficient way to command attention in a busy environment, and this whistle has proven to be absolutely exceptional. As a PE teacher in high school, having a reliable and powerful whistle is crucial, and this one has exceeded all expectations. From the moment you hold it, you can tell it's very well built. The construction feels solid and robust, instilling confidence that it can withstand the rigors of daily use in a dynamic setting. This isn't a flimsy whistle that feels like it will break or jam after a few uses. Its most impressive feature is undoubtedly its volume and clarity. This is a loud whistle that cuts through noise effortlessly. I can confirm that I can hear it from extremely far distances, even across large sports fields filled with student activity. This projection is invaluable for managing games, drills, and ensuring safety across wide areas. For anyone needing a dependable, high-quality whistle that delivers powerful sound and stands up to tough use, this is an outstanding choice. It's an indispensable tool for coaches, referees, or anyone who needs to be heard clearly from a distance.
