whistling mechanism in kettle?

This is not a whistling kettle. In fact it is very quiet. You have to watch for the column of steam when it boils.

No. I watch the column of smoke. Also, I can hear the usual sound of water boiling in a metal pot when it's on a rolling boil. Nothing loud.

With owning whistling kettles in the past, I can see how it can get too hot on the handle and top. If I walk away and am not conscious about the time, it can get warm, but I've only had it too hot to handle once. Sounds like it might have been over filled if it boils over. Technically only meant for drip, not massive amounts of coffee or tea.

I don't think you can find one. I came up empty handed in my search. On person somehow stretched an empty tea bag across the spout in order to make it shut off automatically. It needs some back pressure to make it work. I took things apart and discovered that. I had trashed mine not knowing that was what made the kettle shut off. Sorry I am not of much help.

It isn't super loud, maybe around 60 decibels. Our old high-pitched whistle was easier to hear but the two-toned whistle on this kettle are lower pitched and could possibly be easier to hear. Sorry I can't give a more clear answer.

I don't think you can change the whistle. It is just not very loud, but loud enough to know it's boiling.

Hey Mavis, Sorry, but I've never 'timed' it. I just fill the kettle, set my surface burner to a low level, and do something else while I wait for the whistle. Royfill

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

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 does not whistle, it turns off automatically and you can hear the click when it's done. It's not too loud but you can definitely hear it. Boiling is not too loud either. This tea pot is perfect! We use it everyday. Would highly recommend.

A magnet sticks any where it is placed on the "red" part of the kettle. Hope this helps.

There is a small vent in the cover that lets out a little steam, because the whistle is in the cover itself. I think this is preferable to having the whistle in the spout, and the amount of steam is small. If there is a lot of steam and the pot is not whistling, then something is wrong with the lid seal.

It does it automatically . No need to worry. I turn off the stove as the whistling sound starts but leave it on the stove. It does the rising etc insted of whistling.

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).

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.

The whistle is distinct because it has two tones, and my old one was slightly louder than regular teakettle whistles. However, the recent model that I purchased did not whistle at all, which is why I returned it.

yes. the whistle is in the lid. (a moving ball bearing blocks the spout while kettle is sitting.) whistle works very well

I heat water in a whistling kettle. When it whistles, I pour the water in my french press. So far, so good.
