I use it only at my weekend house and don't remember if it has a whistle. Not only do you need a whistle, but you need one you can hear!

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

No, but Paula Deen makes a model that whistles. It doesn't have the classic lines that this one does. If Amazon doesn't have it, you can check pauladeenstore.com.

I didn't know the whistle was on it until you ask the question.There's a whistle built into the buckle on the headband.

WHistle is loud as long as you make sure the lid is on tight. If the lid is not on and sealed then it doesn't whistle very loud. I learned that the hard way, leftmy kettle on, lid not tight and melted the handle from too much heat.

Hi - This kettle does not make the traditional whistle sound. Once the water starts boiling you will hear (for about 10 seconds) the boiling sound till it automatically shuts off once the water has uniformly boiled completely.

It admits a pitch we can't hear in addition to what we do hear. It is adjustable also. We had mixed results with the barkers next door. They quieted down much faster with the whistle most of the time.

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'm afraid the whistle is not very impressive. I would not call it shrill. Love everything else about this kettle. Looks and performs great every day.

There's a small plastic whistle on the headband. Its not great, certainly not in a convenient place for blowing, but if you blow hard on it, it *is* pretty loud. So I guess it could be useful?

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.

No, this isn't a whistler. Best to set a timer to checkup on it if you need to step away.

It absolutely does not whistle as it does not let out any steam after the pressure has risen. That's one reason why foods cook about three times faster--all steam is contained. I'm very happy with mine, and I've purchased 3 more for relatives.

As others have noted, mine doesn't whistle at all. That is a problem that never even occurred to me before i purchased this--you can forget it's even heating without the whistle and boil the kettle dry. Is this a fire hazard? Too bad, it's a great product otherwise but if I can't figure out how to fix or replace the whistle then I don't want it in my home (fire hazard).

H TJ...mine has a little whistle, but I listen with head phones(speakers are pretty lousy) so I don't notice it..I don't think it means there's something wrong with the player..I just wish I could make the picture brighter....

No...but that's an interesting idea, especially since my hubby is from Georgia! It's a soft whistle that does not work if you don't have the tab closed which can be an issue....

Yes but it makes noise similar to an electric tea kettle (boiling not whistling)
