ACR WW-3 Res-Q Whistle
Available Colors / Styles

Strap the ACR WW-3 Survival Whistle to your pack or PFD, and you'll be heard in an emergency. The WW-3's flat, bright orange design is lightweight and visible in low light, so there's no reason you shouldn't have it close at hand. Dual chambers flush water and debris easily, and the shrill dual tone can be heard over rushing rapids, high wind, and engine noise. Currently in use with NASA and the U.S. Navy, the ACR WW-3 Survival Whistle is USCG and SOLAS approved.
Bottom Line: You can shout yourself hoarse, or let the ACR WW-3 whistle do the work. Your choice.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

speed bass boats. Can this whistle be head over motor noise?

Hey Dan, Yeah probably but hard to say what kind of motors, etc you are dealing with... a motorcycle/snowmobile, wide open, is ~100db, pain in the ears from sound begins at ~125db... real world testing shows this whistle at ~94db... the loudest whistle on the market is a Storm whistle, rated at +130db...

VERY LOUD. I tried it full bore inside and rang my ears. lol The dog ran and hid under the bed. :)
Super lightweight, no pea to come loose. I just bought four of them and will grab a few more for putting into 72 hour kits.
How far away can this be heard? What is the dB level? Do you
How far away can this be heard? What is the dB level? Do you have information on frequency?

ACR SURVIVAL WHISTLE REVIEW

Gotta love this whistle. Although not the loudest I've ever tried, it's orange, small and able to be used on a lanyard /zipper. What more could you ask for? They outta make one glow-in-the-dark. but man this rules. I'm a survivalist and highly recommend this.
There's no reason not to have one.

Real glow-in-the-dark wouldn't make them very useful for the military..., but it might be a good option for civilians.
Change me.
Please choose an option to order this item.
Yup...
...it's loud. For years I used a Fox 40, but then someone dropped it overboard. This is a great replacement.
Serious bonus points for more...
