Pealess Signal Whistle
The ACME Tornado Slimline is a 117 dB pealess whistle for signaling when your voice won't carry: on the water, on a mountain, or anywhere you may need to call for help. Pealess means there is no cork or ball inside, so nothing can freeze, swell, jam with grit or stick when it gets wet. The flat, slim body sits easily on a pack strap, lanyard or key ring, so it stays with you.
Features
- 117 dB Output — The packaging rates the whistle at 117 decibels, loud enough to cut through wind, surf and distance far better than shouting.
- Pealess Design — The whistle has no moving pea inside, so it keeps working after being soaked, frozen or packed with dirt.
- Slimline Profile — A flat, narrow body rides close against a strap or in a pocket instead of snagging like a round whistle.
- SOLAS Approved — The packaging carries the Life Saving SOLAS approval mark, the Safety of Life at Sea standard used for marine survival equipment.
- Mountain Rescue Approved — The packaging also carries a Mountain Rescue approval badge for use in backcountry signaling.
- Split Key Ring — A steel split ring through the lanyard loop clips the whistle to keys, a zipper pull, a vest or a life jacket.
- Black Finish — The plain black body suits tactical and everyday carry where a bright color would stand out.
- Made In England — The body is molded with the ACME logo and England marking, and the card states Made in U.K.
ACME Since 1870

Louder Than My Fox 40 and Half the SizeI've gone through probably a dozen different signal whistles over the years.....Fox 40 Classic, Fox 40 Micro, Storm whistles, even a brass ACME Thunderer that I still love for nostalgia reasons. This little 636 Slimline Tornado absolutely punches above its weight class. The pealess design means no moving parts to freeze up or get jammed with debris, which matters when you're carrying it on a pack strap through rain and mud. At 117+ dB with that tri-frequency trill, it cuts through wind noise way better than the Fox 40 Micro which is a similar size. ACME's been making whistles in England for over 150 years and you can tell they know what they're doing... the top venting system means you can't accidentally muffle it by wrapping your hand around it while blowing. I keep one clipped to my hiking pack, one on my keychain, and bought two more as spares because at this price why not. The slim profile slides right into a front pocket without any weird bulge. Honestly the best signal whistle per dollar you can buy right now imo.
Incredibly loud for such a small whistle
Pealess design works in any weather, no parts to jam
Slim enough to actually carry every day
