I whistle two ways, through my teeth, and the pursed lips way. I can't do the finger whistle.

Middle finger snap.

I can whistle really well. I can even do this cool thing where I whistle and hum at the same time.

hahahaha let me just telllllll you....

my husband taught my daughter to whistle, really really good too. She's 6 years old. She can whistle the 'looking good' one and she can whistle the Andy Griffith tune too. It's the funniest thing ever, since she can do that looking good whistle, any time she see's something she likes she does it. The other day we are at the grocery store in the deli line. Their was a grandmother aged lady in front of us with a fur coat on. Next thing I know there goes my daughter doing her whistle. THe lady starts laughing and turns around and my daughter goes, as loud as humanly possible, THAT COAT IS HOT! I thought the lady and everyone around was going to die laughing, the lady says to my daughter 'well thank you young lady I haven't been whistled at like that in a long time' hahahahahha

I can't whistle to save my life. I snap my fingers with my middle finger.

Same here to both. And my BF makes fun of me mercilessly whenever I try to whistle (like now).

I can whistle... I used to not be able to, but playing the flute taught me how. I snap with my middle finger, too.


I can't do the finger whistle thing, though. My mom can and her whistle is slightly "out of tune." I don't know how to describe it other than it's slightly under pitch, but all of us kids knew that it was our mom whistling.

I can't whistle worth a damn, with or without fingers. I wish I could do the loud finger one -- how DO you do it, anyway?

My mother had a piercing, two tone whistle that she would call us kids in with. You could hear it all over the neighborhood and knew it was time to come home NOW.

She would never whistle a tune as she felt it was not ladylike (a real Southern belle, she was), but felt the whistle for us to come in was more ladylike that screaming our names out the window.

I can't do either My dad has the strangest whistle...apparently it's a South American thing and all the men in our family can do it but I don't know how. I can't describe it, it's such a weird sound he makes but we always know how to find him in a crowd! Makes me feel a bit like a trained dog

I can't really whistle.

My (nearly) 6 year old son can't whistle.

My 2 year old daughter whistled the other day. Now she whistles on command.

Oh, and I snap fingers with my middle finger.
