Review on Acme Tornado Pealess Whistle Yellow by Robin Detwiler

I have been a Lifeguard for a few years now and this is by far the loudest whistle I have ever used and heard. Don't get me wrong, the Acme Thunderer is very loud, as are the Fox 40 and All Weather Storm Whistle; but this whistle is louder. When I looked at Fox 40 and All Weather Storm Whistle I had conflicts. The Fox 40 is a great whistle that everyone has and the All Weather Storm Whistle is still pretty good. However, I did some research on this whistle and found that this whistle is US Coast Guard approved and rated at 121 decibels. What does that mean? This is the loudest whistle I've researched. The Fox 40 was rated at 119 decibels and the All Weather Storm Whistle at 120 decibels. So while they are all very loud whistles, the Acme Tornado 2000 is louder. The pitch of the Acme Tornado is also much higher than the Fox 40. When I'm using the Acme Tornado, my ears hurt a lot more than when I'm blowing full force on the Fox 40, but they draw everyone's attention quicker. Pros: - It's the loudest whistle I've ever heard and used - It's bright yellow so it's easy to find at the bottom of a pool or on the ground - It gets everyone's attention much faster. Disadvantages: - It is slightly larger than a Fox 40 - high pitched sound can hurt ears
