Yes youcan keep it open so it does not whistle.Sometimes it will fall shut but most of the time it will stay open.I do not like the whistle noise especially when everyone in the house is asleep.Hope this helps.

Yes, if you depress the button on the handle, the cover on the spout remains in the up position.

Yes, the cap can stay up if you want so you don't get the whistle. And if you want to hear the whistle, I can hear it even when I'm upstairs. Great teakettle.

Just Kidding. You can make the lid stay open. I did this morning when I changed the bag.

It is loud if you let it close on it's own, but you can lift it up and set it down to close quietly.

Yes, you can set it so there are no sounds. There is a volume scroll on the side from loud to silent.

When you pick up the kettle from the back of the handle, it is designed to open the whistle lock and it stays that way. It does not stay open unless you are holding the handle towards the back. See the picture. I've had mine for over a year and love it. No complaints and it's very pretty - it looks like it striped in the picture, but it's a solid color.

The whistle cap is spring loaded and closes when you release the trigger mechanism and will not stay open unless you block it open with something.

Yes. There is a "tab" [you can see it as the extension above the whistle in the product photo] that you can safely use to life and lock the whistle up out of your way so you can pour the pot's contents without getting a steam burn.

No, but it does have sort of a jam that catches the flap to basically serve that purpose. Keep it from just blowing open. There's a cover that can used as well.

No, it doesn't. It's hinged and comes back down on it's own. But that's why I liked it...I had burned a teakettle because it didn't whistle and I forgot it.

It is not silent, but not noisey either. a good pad underneath would limit the noise.

Yes. In fact, you have to be sure to press the whistle cover DOWN if you run off and leave the water boiling, because you won't get a whistle otherwise. So: You decide - up or down, it is your choice.

Yes. When you open the lid the device shuts off. Just remove your hearing devices any time you want.

The whistle will stay up and out of the way. It's a little difficult to operate both the spout and hold the kettle at the same time with one hand, thus it's a good thing it stays open.

Leave the flap open when you screw on the lid so it doesn't build up air pressure.

Yes, it can be propped open. I also found that removing the rubber gasket from the lid reduced the strength/volume of the whistle significantly. Mine is still audible but no longer piercing.

Yes, it will stay up and NOT whistle if you don't want it to. I rarely use the whistle when boiling water due to how loud it is.
