There are many ways to whistle, but that is a topic for another poll. My question is about the direction in which the air flows when one is whistling unassisted (no fingers) through pursed lips.

Exhaling is the common thing but I can only do it while inhaling. My whistling also has a very limited range.

There should be an option for both. When I'm whistling I use both ways, so the "music" I do has no breaks.

exhaling

i used to be a whistling pro. i spent atleast a year accidentally learning how to whistle and once i got it down, i whistled like no other.

and then i got braces.


and so it goes, and so it goes, and so will you soon i suppose.

Mostly exhaling, though I can whistle somewhat by inhaling.

Both, but I go louder and higher inhaling and get good low notes exhaling.

Inhale. Always have, probably always will.
