Loud and reliable, even in the rain! December 20, 2008
Jeffrey T. Beehler (Redmond, WA USA)
I've used a few other whistles and none can compare to the Fox 40. It's super loud and reliable, even in the rain which we get plenty of out here in the NW.
Perfect product April 19, 2008
Ivan Matic (Zagreb, Croatia)
Used it for a couple of years for calling basketball games. As previously stated, no moving parts makes it unable to jam, perfect sound if you blow hard enough, and you need nothing more. Affordable too.
Makes you a better official the instant you put it in your mouth March 26, 2008

The Fox 40 whistle is so simple that it amazes me that anyone ever used pea whistles for professional sports officiating. The loud blasts stops game action in its tracks, and players and spectators will tend to respect you more.
The key to this whistle is in its multiple chambered design. Each chamber sounds a single note, fairly loudly, but that does not "trill" as we expect whistles to do. However, each chamber is tuned to a very slightly different note. The combination of close but different pitches leads to a "beating" effect which sounds like trilling. Try whistling two close but different notes with a friend and you'll quickly see what I'm talking about.
There are no moving parts, so it doesn't matter if it's wet, and it doesn't jam when you blow too hard.
For about 8 bucks delivered, you can have the same whistle used by the professionals in the NBA, NCAA, NFL, and the NHL, just to name the most popular American sports.
One word of caution: This is not a toy. Giving one to a kid is guaranteed to make your life miserable and could maybe even damage your hearing. It's that loud.
Best whistle ever November 4, 2007

This is a great whistle - commands attention and extremely loud. Make sure you give it plenty of air, it blows loud or not at all. Lots of fun to use as well. I highly recommend this for anyone (official, coach, PE teacher) who needs to get students' attention quickly.
Excellent whistle for referees October 11, 2006

I referee several sports, and the Fox 40 Classic has been the best whistle that I've ever used. It never fails to sound, unlike traditional whistles, and is loud enough to be heard over the loudest crowds. It's no wonder that the Fox 40 is trusted by so many officials.
