      I remember that a few years ago their Electronic Whistle was rated at 120 dB, and recently they have corrected it - now they claim 'only' 100 dB or so.

    Awesome experiment, thanks... I own a lot of these whistles, and the Acme 558 (1:15) remains my favorite. The lower frequency travels farther while not hurting the user's ears as much. The pea adds a desirable warble. Also, the Acme 558 is less than half the size of the Storm (3:55), another great pea whistle. By the way, I am not a ref, but I use whistles for outdoor activities, like snowboarding, camping, dog training, etc.

    I have to say compared to the last whistle comparison, a leap from 16 to 60 whistles is astounding! With so many choices available, it's safe to say this is truly the biggest whistle comparison yet. Very interesting to see that most Molten whistles are on the higher end of the dB scale. I might have to look into a new secondary whistle option! (Main being the Valkeen of course :D)
    One thing I'd like to know is if you have done whistle signals from different positions (further away, while running, etc.) this time as well, and if so, can we expect another video with them included?
    Anyway, great video and thank you again! Happy new year and good luck with the upcoming season/matches!

    Can you remember original Fox 40 Sonik, produced before ca. 2007? It was advertised as '4-chamber, Multi-directional Whistle' with exactly 125 dB sound power - the loudest in Fox 40 history. Later they re-designed it into Sonik Blast, which has 'only' 120 claimed. I strongly wonder how it sounded like. It's very rare today and hard to find.

      @yassensei Месяц назад

      I might still have a Sonik in my bag somewhere. I didn't like it because it was really hard to blow consistently--especially the fact that I thought it took a much bigger breath to get a decent sound. I like the Fox40 because you can hit it at any point in your own breathing cycle--even if you've mostly exhaled already. I recall the Sonik needing almost a full breath to get a decent sound; otherwise, it came out sounding like a honk rather than a whistle.

    • @janmarkowicz4633
      @janmarkowicz4633 3 дня назад

      ​@@RefereeChannelHi! I am returning to this comment because recently I've bought original retired Sonik 'not-Blast' for my collection from private owner in Italy. And I must tell you that in my humble opinion... this is exactly how Fuziun should have sounded like. It sounds literally between Sonik and Classic characteristics - very piercing like Sonik, maybe slightly quieter (despite 125 dB claimed), but higher, more thrilling and rich like Classic, thanks to 4 chambers. I think you would like this sound very much. One drawback - as previously mentioned - it requires a lot of air blowed in to fill all 4 chambers.

My favorite whistles to use for indoor volleyball are the Fox40 standard, the Mikasa Beatmaster, Fox Pearl (for smaller gyms or not-so-loud venues), and my newest addition, the Mikasa Beat 500. The Beatmaster and Beat 500 come out of Japan, so you may end up having to import them, but I love the way that they sound.

    @chucky47240 6 месяцев назад

    There is a difference between what we hear and what the dBmeter gives as numbers.
    Depending on the use, the frequencies are not the same, and for a less powerful whistle on the theory of numbers, it will be heard from further away with a frequency intended to be so.
    If we do the ranking by closing our eyes, it will not be at all representative of the figures, that's for sure !

    • @RefereeChannel
      @RefereeChannel  6 месяцев назад +2

      The dB meter is professional also measured the frequencies for every whistle. The dB meter takes those things into consideration. It costs $6000.
      But yes, frequency does matter in the sense on how well it’s perceived in reality. But that doesn’t mean it’s actually louder or not. Only how humans perceive it. Because the sound graphs showed that the higher the dB, the higher the sound level graphs were on the phones recording when I edited the video.
      Basically every whistle on top on this list follows the claimed lists from other tests.

    I have a few questions about the whistles in this video.
    1. I thought the Dolfin Pro was for volleyball but you claimed as outdoor sports. Is it because it is one of the loudest whistles?
    2. What is HRS? Is it ripoff of Valkeen or some other brand that became same design as Valkeen?
    3. Can I use Valkeen in any sports?(Outdoor, Indoor, Futsal, etc) because I'm too lazy to having a other whistles for indoors.
    Lastly I am glad that you are still here to make a whistle comparison. Happy new year!

    • @RefereeChannel
      @RefereeChannel  Год назад +1

      1: I see that they claim it’s tuned for volleyball but it’s very similar to the Valkeen and suitable for outdoors. It’s way too loud for indoors.
      2: Yes, a complete copy but it’s a brand called HRS.
      3: You can use it indoors but I don’t recommend it. It’s too loud and it will be uncomfortable for you and everyone in there. For indoors I recommend darker tones and/or less than 125 dB. Valkeen doesn’t sound good if you use less force to make it quiet. You can use the Vorca or Blazza for that.

Even Classic fox sounds too whiny to me, not convincing at all. Also speaking as a high-level player; when the Whistle hurts their ears they do not want to start arguing. It gives you more power. But there is a reason Why almost all futsal referees carry 2 Whistles compared to usually just one in football.
