Can You Whistle?

[tulagirl]

Boy I am amazed at all of you that can't whistle like my R2.  It is amazing but now I am wondering if perhaps the way our mouth is shaped has something to do with being able to do this task  or not.  Kind of like the genetic ability to curl the sides of your tongue.

I can only whistle by taking a deep breath and pulling air in instead of blowing it out. That being said I can't really do it on demand .

I can whistle, but I think with my lips, not teeth. I'm able to do simple melodies. Can't do the finger thing though.

[dashesndots]

not really.  I can get something that sort of sounds like a high pitched one but I don't think its legit xD

This is me also, haha.  I can sort of make high pitched noises but they aren't true whistles.

I can whistle a simple tune without sounding too horrible, but anything more complex is beyond me. My mum whistles beautifully, even complicated melodies.

I can whistle half decently. My Gremma had to put a lot of effort into teaching me though. Which really just consisted of her whistling at me and me trying to copy for however long it took.

I haven't done it in awhile though. Now when I try it's definitely gotten harder. I prefer to hum though so *shrugs*

I can whistle like a sparrow.

Yea I can make a whistle sound by pushing air through my teeth.  In fact that is the way I get Vinny's attention when I am wanting him.  He responds to that noise for some reason but ignores a regular whistle. My parakeets like it when I whistle or make a whistle sound with my teeth.  They will stop everything and turn their heads like they are trying to make out what I am saying. It is super funny.

I guess I can whistle in a way, but I don't really count it as such so I'm going to say no. What I can do is blow air out the gap between my two front teeth, it's a weak little thing that I usually waver to sound like summer insects.

I never could figure out how to move my lips to whistle, and sticking fingers in my mouth didn't help at all either lol.

I can but it took me so many years to be able to do so.

Yup, I whistle but only the basic way. Never bothered learning it any other way but whistling came in handy when I had a dog and had a special whistle when calling him, which he actually reacted to. I'm no good at whistling any famous tunes and I've learned to live with it.

I've never been able to whistle in any way. A few people have tried to teach me but I just don't get it.

No one in my family every really whistles? I can't think of hearing/seeing any of them do it. Maybe that's a factor? I can wiggle my ears, like a lot of my family, but my boyfriend just cannot understand how or learn to do it.

I can, but the sound of anyone else whistling really annoys me!

Oh goodness I can't wiggle my ears either.  I remember practicing that as a kid and I could never get command over the muscles that move the ear. Ha

Cantercadance, your siggy has taken me over the moon. I love owls and that is fabulous. I have about 4 of the ones you have posted in that photo.  Whoo hooo

I can barely whistle and I can't do it loudly. And apparently the face when I do it is funny because it makes people laugh.
