When your life depends on being heard this is the whistle you want.

Product Description

The Fox 40 Classic Emergency Whistle is used by lifeguards, military personnel, and search and rescue teams worldwide. Its pealess design (no ball inside) prevents freezing, clogging, and malfunction in wet or cold conditions. At 120 decibels, its sound carries over a mile and is distinct from natural sounds—easy for rescuers to locate. Weighing just 0.4 oz, there's no excuse not to carry one. Attach to every bug-out bag, keychain, and life vest.

Real Use Case

You are trapped under debris after a structural collapse during an earthquake. Your voice cannot carry through the rubble. Rescue workers are systematically searching the collapse zone. You blow three blasts on your Fox 40 whistle. The 115dB signal cuts through the debris and concrete. Rescue workers pinpoint your location within 4 minutes and begin extraction.
