The tube length determines whether the tube acoustic pressure or velocity is the dominant influence on the frequency of the tube. Simple models of organ-pipe resonance is based on open–open pipe resonance ( λ = L /2), but corrections must be made to take into account that one end of the pipe radiates into the surrounding medium, and the other radiates through a slit with a jet flow.

5.4.1.1 Control of the Source
In whistling and professional singing, mastering the technique of production requires a phase of learning in addition to the implicit acquisition that people acquire by growing up in linguistic communities or families that extensively use singing or whistled speech. Shouting is generally developed from birth without any particular distinct extra learning. In each of these three speech registers, an efficient emission relies on a homogeneous, powerful, relaxed and precise control of both the a...
5.4.1.2 From Standard to Shouted Speech… Toward Whistles
In shouting, to increase the range of ordinary speech or to overcome noise, individuals adjust their voices by raising amplitude levels in a quasi-subconscious way. During this vocal effort, called the “Lombard effect” (Lombard 1911), the spoken voice progressively passes into the register of the shouted voice. Effort is also intensified with the tendency to prolong syllables, to reduce the flow of speech and to increase the fundamental frequency. There is a large body of literature on this p...
5.4.1.3 Vowel Lengthening in Singing
The sung form of speech is also characterized by an increase in vowel duration in most of the singing styles. This results from the combination of many parameters that influence production in the singing voice. First, artistic choices justify this strategy, for example, to control the homogeneity of timbre quality, especially in the bel canto technique (Woisard-Bassols 2001). Moreover, a slower tempo is often inherent to music, resulting in a slower rate of speech. Next, articulatory movement...
In a similar manner to whistled speech, the contributions for encoding the word meaning of both the Fo and the formant distribution may influence the composition and the interpretation of songs. However, due to the complex frequency spectrum of the singing voice, testing this aspect is less simple. Furthermore, other parameters must be considered. ...
The sung/singing mode of whistled speech is a practice that consists of emulating the sung voice while producing a whistled sentence. It is not an aspect extensively developed in all of the cultures that use whistled speech. It seems to be much more common in tonal languages, likely because such languages partly encode melody and meaning in singing...

Aug 12, 2005 · Soc. Am. 37, 902–911 (1965), G. Succi, physics Ph.D. thesis, M.I.T., June 1977], the extension of such results to an analysis of typical pursed‐lips whistling has been largely neglected. In the light of current knowledge about the acoustic properties of both hole tones and the vocal tract, it is theorized that the typical narrow‐band peak ...
Let's consider the specific type whistle shown in the question. When we blow the whistle, air is forced to rush out through the narrow opening. The flow of air at the center of the stream is significantly faster than the neighboring air close to the main stream. If the air stream is easily deflected (unstable), vortexes are generated.
Dec 4, 2014 · You describe "a whistle sound when air is pushed through a tight space". That is a familiar phenomenon. Essentially, you hear a self-sustaining resonance - something is driving the air mass in a way that causes a resonance that becomes a recognizable pitch.
Whistled languages have sparked anthropological interest in the acoustic and anatomical mechanisms underlying whistling and how they facilitate communication across long distances . The frequencies generated by whistling (2–4 kHz) are resistant to degradation and can be intelligible at a distance 10 times greater than shouted speech ( 6 ).

What happens when air streams collide in a whistle?
Whistling is a sound made when air streams collide with each other. Originally, whistling was done by making a small aperture with your lips (like a small 'O'), and then blowing out and taking in the air from it. Your lips, teeth, and tongue, structures itself in a way to make this sound. Normally, while whistling your tongue will not come in ...
