Whistle length – The natural resonant frequency decreases as the length of the whistle is increased. Doubling the effective length of a whistle reduces the frequency by one half, assuming that the whistle cross-sectional area is uniform. A whistle is a quarter-wave generator, which means that a sound wave generated by a whistle is about four times the whistle length. If the speed of sound in the steam supplied to a whistle were 15936inches per second, a pipe with a 15-inch effective length blowing its natural frequency would sound near middle C: 15936/(4 x 15) = 266Hz. When a whistle is sounding its natural frequency, the effective length referred to here is somewhat longer than the physical length above the mouth if the whistle is of uniform cross-sectional area. That is, the vibrating length of the whistle includes some portion of the mouth. This effect (the “end correction”) is caused by the vibrating steam inside the whistle engaging vibration of some steam outside the enclosed pipe, where there is a transition from plane waves to spherical waves. [31] Formulas are available to estimate the effective length of a whistle, [30] but an accurate formula to predict sounding frequency would have to incorporate whistle length, scale, gas flow rate, mouth height, and mouth wall area (see below).

Gas composition – The frequency of a whistle driven by steam is typically higher than that of a whistle driven by compressed air at the same pressure. This frequency difference is caused by the greater speed of sound in steam, which is less dense than air. The magnitude of the frequency difference can vary because the speed of sound is influenced by air temperature and by steam quality. Also, the more squat the whistle, the more sensitive it is to the difference in gas flow rate between steam and air that occurs at a fixed blowing pressure. Data from 14 whistles (34 resonant chambers) sounded under a variety of field conditions showed a wide range of frequency differences between steam and air (5 - 43 percent higher frequency on steam). Very elongate whistles, which are fairly resistant to gas flow differences, sounded a frequency 18 - 22 percent higher on steam (about three semitones). [59] Place the turbine on the sandpaper, press firmly and evenly, and move it around in a circular motion. To make sure the sanding is even, regularly turn the turbine under your fingers.Hi kiteman my ible is nearly finished, there is a summer fun comp coming up so i will publish it then. I used to be able to give people a sneak peak, but I dont think it works any more. try the link and see what happens I just need a few more photos. a b Ommundsen, Peter (2003).

Blowing pressure – Sound level increases as blowing pressure is raised, [60] [61] although there may be an optimum pressure at which sound level peaks. [49] Beginning in 1869, [17] steam whistles began being installed at lighthouse stations as a way of warning mariners in periods of fog, when the lighthouse is not visible. 10" diameter whistles were used as fog signals throughout the United States for many years, [17] until they were later replaced by other compressed air diaphragm or diaphone horns. Loudness is a subjective perception that is influenced by sound pressure level, sound duration, and sound frequency. [74] [75] High sound pressure level potential has been claimed for the whistles of Vladimir Gavreau, [82] who tested whistles as large as 1.5 meter (59-inch) diameter (37Hz). [83] In my childhood we used to have plastic siren whistles that would break the next day after you bought them. I didn't know how they were called, and didn't know how they were called in English. Found it "by mistake" here and was very happy to reclaim a childhood memory. I didn't design and make this whistle straight as the final version - it went through a few "draft" versions first, and an early version had no axle, with the turbine spinning freely within the case. It worked, but not very well.Hooter whistle - a single note whistle of greater diameter with a longer bell, resulting in a deeper “hoot” sound when blown. These found use in rail, marine, and industrial applications. In the United States, the Norfolk and Western Railway made extensive use of these kinds of whistles and were noted for the squeaks and chirps produced when blown in addition to their low pitch.
