The sound from a whistle is called a "whistle sound." It is characterized by a sharp, high-pitched tone produced by the rapid movement of air through the whistle's chamber.
A whistle typically produces a high-pitched sound, while thunder is a deep rumbling noise.
A whistle produces sound when air is blown through a narrow opening, creating vibrations that travel through the air as sound waves. The shape and size of the whistle determine the pitch and volume of the sound produced.
The sound of a kettle boiling is commonly referred to as a whistle or a hiss. It is caused by the steam escaping through the spout or pressure release valve of the kettle.
The energy wasted when blowing a whistle is converted to sound energy that is not useful for the intended purpose of the whistle, which is to produce a specific frequency of sound. Inefficient design or improper technique can also contribute to wasted energy.
This effect is called the Doppler effect. It occurs when there is relative motion between the source of a sound (like a train whistle) and an observer. As the train approaches, the sound waves are compressed, resulting in a higher pitch, and as it moves away, the sound waves are stretched, causing a lower pitch.
