I once had an Oxo with a great low-toned whistle. Is this the same one? Sounds a bit like of fog horn?

I've had my kettle for several years now, and it has a high pitched whistle. Can't tell you about the ones that are being sold right now.

There were two different ones made. Hard to tell from pic which one it is. The original tea kettle had three small holes in the spout and sounded like a train whistle. The newer kettles have slits in the spout and just make high pitched whistle.

There is no whistle.The noise is comparable to any other electric kettle that we have owned, distinct but when boiling less than just before coming to the boil.

I have the exact one in the picture, but it doesn't have any "music" sound. Mine has a horn and the red light on the back top of the cycle will come on then go off . Even in the paperwork of mine, it saids nothing of "music". Maybe yours is the other style??

I have this exact one and I can verify that MINE does not whistle! I love it anyway, but yes, you have to keep an eye on it!

I'm sorry, I can't help you here. I don't remember anything about the whistle nor the sound level of the boiling. My concern was with the manner of showing the temperature of the water; it didn't fit my needs.

Replacement horn, set of 2, can use 1, 2 sounds better, nice mellow euro tone, (if you want loud, get a set of air horns), hz= tone, higher db= louder horn. Cheers

I just watched a How It's Made program on the Science Channel on making these whistles. They are made of brass that is nickel plated. At least the UK version is.

Keith, I've had two of these horns also, and both of them came apart like yours. Money down the drain. I called the manufacturer and they talked like that is a common occurrence! I had the new stock H-D horn put on and it sounds good. Louder than the older stock horn.

Lol I'm sure your doing nothing wrong. My kettle doesn't whistle all that loud.

No, unfortunately it has Korea stamped on the bottom of it. I was trying to replace one I am sure was made in America, but they are hard to find new and several I bid on on ebay eventually sold for $75. A little out of my price range. The one I got I paid $35 for and it seems to work as well as my old one. Good whistle and no leaks around the handle etc.

Got me Im guessing there is a whistle tone on it somewhere. I haven't even explored it on mine and its married in my camping gear box. Its a nice light though. You can't go wrong with a Petzl. I have a different model as well.

No ... that's why we bought this one. We were looking for one with no whistle!

I actually have the kettle that makes a sound that sounds like an organ definitely not worth the astronomical price! Also the handle can melt if it is not directly over the flame. Think carefully about buying a kettle and perhaps the one made in England is the wiser choice. Don't buy anything made in China as it may look fine but believe me it isn't.

The whistle is distinctive , but if you are using it on an electric stove for some reason it is not as loud . No idea why . The older kettles had a much better whistle, but if the recipient of this kettle cannot hear a normal kettle don't spend the money to buy this one. She/he will not hear it !!!!

I am an older fart. And, back in the 60's I had a great uncle that used one of those horns to hear better (a real cow horn of sorts!). The reason I mention this.. if you cup your hand behind the speaker and direct the sound toward your face.. it's different between night and day. Will suffice when no headphones are around! A lot of the tinny-ness is removed. Sometimes simple works. If I can enjoy Yes music this way.. then the sky is the limit.

The low setting is a simple steady somewhat high pitch unbroken tone. Not at all like the chirp and not effective for road use. This tone sound does NOT resemble a car horn whatsoever. The tone setting is effective in a park where things are relatively quiet and your only hazard is people and other bicycles. The 140db is a lot of sound pressure but it is at a high pitch. I like my horn but don't count on it for preventing accidents with cars. I live in the center of a large city, so it is often hard to get above the din to be noticed. Great for clearing joggers out of bike lane, though.
