Please also take a look at my new Sports Fan Whistle - a full-fledged referee whistle with national colors. ![]() | I have also developed Ultrasonic dog whistles at even higher frequencies, which you can find here. ![]() |
After a lot of fine work and countless test prints, I proudly present the first reliably functioning 3D printable Ultrasonic Whistle. With a powerful blow, it breaks the barrier of 20 kHz that separates ultrasound from “normal” sound.
You'll probably think that this whistle isn't working - but that's because humans (especially as they get older) hear higher tones less loudly or not at all - unlike many animals! I therefore recommend a frequency measurement app for testing. I use this android app.
WARNING:
This whistle is not a toy! It's very loud which can harm the ears, so please protect your ears and don't use it near other people or animals!
How to print:
First of all: this whistle has very small structures inside - corresponding to the short wavelength of ultrasonic sound. For successful printing, your printer should be well calibrated and work precisely. Use a line width of 0.4 mm and a layer height of 0.2 mm, 8 top layers and 8 bottom layers. The whistle requires correct positioning of the Z-seam - it shouldn't be placed in the narrow air passages inside the whistle.
Print slowly to achieve sharp edges!
