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.

I think it is the same whistle, it isn't little, and it really is load, I think , like it says, Authentic British Whistle

The plastic Oxo works well, but I think the stainless version may be sharper, and cut more easily. I am going to try that one.

Mine has an "Oklahomish" tone. Kinda like J.J. Cale playing Black Sabbath. It's awesome!

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.

It's not a big gong like you'd hear in "The King and I." It's a Chinese tam tam, 12" in diameter. It's made by Zildgian so you know it's sounds good. The attached video gives you the closest sound of the PO565 except it's pitched about a fifth higher than the one in the video. You can play it soft like the guy in the video or give it a really hard whack. It sounds great. Give a listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otucItOqJ_A. Hope this helps. Dave

I've been using this pot since the early 1980s and the only reason I'm on my second one is use of an abrasive cleanser once when young and stupid. Completely my fault. Anyway, I've never had a problem with the whistles on either pot. I'd return it and get it replaced. You can buy them but you shouldn't have to.

Hi, this would be more of a marine horn sound. It is a higher tone, than the train horn.

the whistle is loud but if you don't put the top back on after you fill it or if the spout sticks open ( which it can cuz its a different design ) then it won't whistle .... i like it better than the rest cuz it doesn't get the calcium deposit so you have to decalcify all of the time.. I would buy this again.. I use it everyday throughout the day..hope that helps.

You'd like to know what it sounds like? It sounds just like a simi trucks air horn. Maybe just not as loud. But as far as the tone mine is exactly the same.

I would say yes! It has the same finish as my other Buffalo Remo one but just darker in color. The sound is amazing! It is very deep and haunting, I love it. Paint away!

Yes, a very loud whistle is created by a "ball and valve" system in the spout. When you pick up the kettle, it should have a bit of a rattle which is that little ball jiggling. You will love this kettle!!!

I've only had the Fog Chaser and French Roast. I'm no connoisseur, but the Fog Chaser is more original and has a nice flavor. Not too bold and smooth (not bitter or too acidic). If you like other French Roast blends, you'd like theirs as well.

I received mine and it sounds great. These penny whistles dont take a lot of air to play so it is easy for some people to blow too hard. It is all about control. If youd like to know how mine sounds and how I play, email me at hoggunott@gmail.com.

I had an ivory colored one a long time ago, and to me, the tone and feel is pretty similar. This one feels perhaps a bit cheaper, but I was really impressed at the quality of this, having expected it to to feel and sound very cheap. Hope that helps!

It does whistle but it isn't an offensive sound! Best kettle I've ever owned and we're Serious tea drinkers

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