Does the kettle whistle?

No. It does not whistle. It's just a great big stainless steel kettle. Works very well.

No it does not -- thank goodness!! But is sure does hold a nice amount of water and heats it quickly. Nan W.

No, there's no whistle, and when I bought it there was no whistle attachment. Still, a nice kettle and I've been happy with it.

NO it does not whistle. However it is so beautiful you won't be able to keep your eyes off of it.

I would say that the Kalorik kettle doesn't make any more noise than a typical tea kettle does coming to a boil on the stove. The two sounds are comparable in volume except the Kalorik kettle doesn't whistle like you would historically expect from a tea kettle.

It has a beautiful whistle, just a warning that mine broke very quickly. Not a good kettle.

Yes, there is; and also I noticed that when it turns off (water boiled) you hear a little "click"... So you definitely know when the kettle turns off.

As stated elsewhere, the 17 oz kettle is very quiet, making a small click when it is ready. If you have any interest in it, the larger kettle makes a chirping sound when the water is ready.

Yes. The whistle lid will stay open without holding it. After you pour the water, you must push it down to re-close it. Excellent kettle! Highly recommended. I hope this helps....

Yes it does. Even the most basic of electric kettles will have one of these. Well, to be more accurate, it has an 'on' switch that usually switches itself off when the kettle comes to a boil. But you can turn it off yourself before it boils should you wish.

Yes, it does. It's a great kettle. Makes enough noise to wake the dead too, which is what I need.

Yes, I can hear the whistle. It's fine. I chose this style for the ease of using a handle. Love it.

yes it makes a noise. it is subtle but it does make a high pitched squeal that you can hear if you listening for it.

The sound from the boiling kettle is not very loud. You can hear it from another room but it is not annoying. There is no whistle but you can hear the kettle click off when the water has reached a boil. Hope this info helps!

yes, it sounds like a low train whistle. Much nicer than your average kettle.

The only noise comes out of it is of the water boiling. The kettle itself has no noise.

Yes, there is a whistle feature. When the temperature in the pot rises, the whistle blows signaling that it is time to turn the heat down and close the exhaust valve on top.

I find it loud enough, but it's not piercing (I've had that type.) Should be heard in the next room, but not if folks wander too far. Something to remember is that usually the steam whistles will not produce sound once the water has boiled away. It's a pain - I let my last kettle cook away because I had put it on with the whistle spout in the "up" position. (Kettle base was so hot that it popped the seal at its edge.) You can't do that with this one: the whistle is down and in place unless your hand is on the handle pressing the release.

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