COMPARISON with FOURSEVENS:
SIZE and WEIGHT:
- Dimensions: 2.05"×0.28"×0.28" (52×7×7mm)
- Weight: 0.17oz (4.7grams)
DEMO: Football Field
PROS:
Small Size: Perfect for a keychain
Very loud, especially for its size
Construction: TC4 Titanium is very durable (verses plastic whistles which could possibly break)
Keychain hole is efficient
Easy to find online (Amazon, Ebay, Nitecore and other sites)
CONS:
Price: $20 whistle is kind of expensive (less than $5 for a Fox 40)
Surface and label rubs off quickly (I wish it was engraved)
I'm not sure I agree with Nitecore's statement: "NiteCore NWS10 is the loudest emergency whistle on the market." (depends on the definition of "emergency")
Resonator is not also Titanium, although I imagine this is by design.

[@fila741]

he blows the damn thing at 3:30

[@Slender099]

Thank you

[@EPICPEDOPONEH]

Tyyy

[@LIFTHUNTREALESTATE]

Thank you!! Been wanting a whistle like yours since it appeared in your videos.

[@totallyfrozen]

Wow! From 5 to 50 yds, I didn’t hear a drop in volume. Even at 100 yds I could hear it well. If someone has to find you, I think this would definitely work.

[@PREPFORIT]

Great lil addition to my EDC. thanks for the name of an alternate version.

[@EnriqueSonora]

I thoroughly enjoyed this review. Clever angle at the end. Thanks for locating an affordable alternative.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

You're very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@joannthompson670]

Thank you!! I had something similar to this when my now-adult kids were preteens, they could hear the one I had 1/2 mile away!! lol & smh -- I sadly lost it about a decade ago and have never found anything like it until now. -- $20 is pretty steep but it will be great to have a LOUD whistle again. -- Seriously, Thanx!! ;)

[@koreakiwon]

I would need to use this little thing maybe less than once a decade. But isn't this so beautiful? I feel I can't help but buying one. Thank you for the detailed review. ♡

[@LarsLondian]

Great job & thanks for sharing Urban Prepper.

[@ChrisLee-UK]

Nice :D Thanks Cliff and love the music at the end haha

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

You're welcome. Shall I include one in the care package?

[@ChrisLee-UK]

If that's okay buddy but dont want to be asking too much of you :/ thank you :)

[@CanadianPrepper]

Would be nice if there were a screwdriver on the other end of this, something to make it more versatile, as small as it is its still adds bulk depending on what you have on your keys already. Thanks for the comprehensive review.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Thanks for watching. Instead of a screwdriver, maybe a mini pry bar would be easier?

[@MarcusMussawar]

this is incredible videography amazing work filming

[@TheBertjeT]

If you blow on it with an air compressor, will it be louder?

[@francoisbelangerboisclair]

You are right for the fact it is not the loudest. The Fox 40 was said to be over 130db... Now they say 120db... Don't know why the change but it is loud...

[@ThPappas]

Hi TheUrbanPrepper.Could you test please, the sister Nitecore whistle,ie the NWS20?

[@taxlawsealsteuerberater7226]

i purchased the klarus titanium whistle: is just as good as maybe better! greetings from germany!

[@DrDennis]

Very clear for me even with moderate high freq hearing loss.

[@allemander]

Nice review! I have the $10+/- Vargo Ti whistle that's rated at 100+db and weighs a tenth of an ounce. The version that comes on a cord is better and louder than their version that comes with a flimsy, virtually useless pocket clip and no cord hole. However, I'd really like to hear/see a comparison between the corded Vargo Ti whistle and the Nitecore you reviewed here.

[@malthus101]

+allemander So would I!

[@RSLtreecare]

Hi, it looks very interesting. I found and carry a Storm safety Whistle. There's larger one is the Hurricane... they are both very loud. Take care

[@cesalt2408]

I can't imagine anybody responding to a whistle of any kind. It's just not part of or modern culture. Most people would just wonder what it was and go about their business. Thinking about this particular whistle, it doesn't sound at all like anything is going wrong. It sounds sweet!

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

True. It's better suited in rural areas, although maybe in the evening in an urban environment.

[@SuperMadpom]

Absolutely perfect if your stuck in a void inside a building that's collapsed due to earth quake or lost in the middle of the woods with an injury when you can hear search parties but they are unable to locate you. Takes up so little space almost dumb not to have one on your person if you live in a seismically active region or perhaps hurricane alley.

[@painexotic3757]

this whistle is obviously made for rural areas. For example, if you're going hunting or camping and you want to locate someone you're with if one person wanders off (there are no cell phone towers in the woods so goodluck trying to call or text them). It's a must have for these types of situations.

[@totallyfrozen]

Search & Rescue workers do listen for whistles. Your average dummy walking around won’t think anything of it “in our modern culture” besides the fact that many people are only self-absorbed and don’t want to get involved anyway.

[@noblelies]

Make sure you buy a GENUINE product from a LICENSED vendor or directly from the manufacturer. There are a LOT of Chinese fakes out there made with plastic parts and people have complained about their products meant for emergencies failing in just a few months. Just know that the GENUINE while from Nitecore is made of solid titanium and has no plastic parts.

[@steventran6204]

Is it better than a storm laptop TheUrbanPrepper?

[@bowieknife]

I've got this, but when I blow there's no sound... Is there a fix? My resonator is slightly slanted. Is that the reason?

[@williammurray4058]

Hey how much was it

[@BobBob-il2ku]

please add pictures of it compared to the mini/micro fox 40 whistle

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you some photos.

[@RobertMcKenzie]

LOL don't eat it .. mind you it would really make for some interesting farts down the road LOL #SuperRevRob

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

LOL!!!

[@0SPACE0BAR0]

A sharpish C?

[@HifiCentret]

The "resonator" is a plastics material because it's cheaper to make that way. And a lot easier to insert. On the positive side should you get one with a sub optimal placed resonator you can push it out yourself and reinsert it properly. Done that to a few low cost chinesium (titanium) whistles. Made a big improvement in both loudness and much cleaner and crisper tone. Thinking of adding a whistle to my EDC keychain. Can't deside which one. Oh well. I'll probably end up ordering about every one out there and then order a few more of the best. Wish NWS20 was still available. Wonder why they stopped making that.

[@HifiCentret]

By the way. It would be really awseome if the Storm Whistle was available in titanium. Titanium is just the material of choice for geeks.

[@BoozyLopez]

SAZ I don't do Vargo. His stuff looks cool but meh. Cliff thanks for the tip on these.

[@isaackarjala7916]

I have a 115 db air horn for my bicycle, leaves your ears ringing, dizzy and cross eyed.

[@liamh3226]

"Oh man, dude. I'm so hungry..." "Hey, I'm sure we can make it home before nightfall, we can have a feast when we get back." "Nah dude, Imma just eat my whistle..."

[@maxelllouis5894]

I just bought this whistle yesterday, The desain is great, but there's only one thing, Can the teflon resonator come out or moved?

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Maxell Louis I'm not sure. I imagine so. I've never had it happen to any of the ones I own though. It's worked great for me thus far.

[@patrickfiorilalonde]

Maxell Louis Yeah, I have this issue now and Nitecore doesn't respond to me. It's blocked inside at the far bottom of the whistle.

[@korkis2614]

+Maxell Louis made in china sir ?

[@williecassidy2622]

Hey preper I was just wondering if you are doing a give away soon thanks .

[@AGENT-tq1nm]

Did you get it niqqa ..?

[@ketchuppedase2867]

i just bought one. why my resonance made from metal and yours like a plastic? are mine fake or it just difference caused by old production and newly production

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

I've heard of the plastic baffles coming out, but I've yet to run into that problem over multiple years.

[@noblelies]

There should be no plastic in a genuine version of the product. You have a really good Chinese fake.

[@ketchuppedase2867]

noblelies i think it it is not a fake. maybe just oldest version. it is writen 2016 version in my whistle box. so i think there is 2015 or 2014 version which use plastic resonator. in my box it is writen aluminium alloy resonator. so overall it is titanium except the aluminium resonator. why somebody would like to faking a whistle anyway? it is not everybody usually buy

[@snakyjake1]

How does this compare to the NWS20?

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

snakyjake1 I haven't done a side-by-side comparison but I imagine they would perform fairly consistently.

[@WalterWorldVlog]

When you mentioned the silver necklace, I thought you were referring to the... erm... cleavage shots halfway down the product's page. I wasn't prepared for the sultry music :-D

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

LOL! That would have been a fun camera angle.

[@williecassidy2622]

Hey preper are u doing a give away soon

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Yes. Stay tuned. It's been a while, so I want to make it a good one.

[@celticwitan]

Toot toot!

[@codygutierrez2969]

I wanna buy one ☝️

[@swedishnightfall6781]

Another con is that since the whistle is made of metal, it will be uncomfortable to use and likely stick to your lips in freezing conditions.

[@robertfitzsimmons9428]

WTF?! you hear nothing, I can actually hear the background sound being muted as you blow the whistle.

[@jasonmiller6200]

The plastic piece inside does not last. Buy the Fenix NW20.

[@Zodliness]

I Like the Nite core whistle, great for EDC. It's a shame that there are so many counterfeit copies on eBay made from cheap aluminium but marked with Nite core logo and text. Not surprising that they are cloned in China and sold from China, as a US made product..... I smell something definitely fishy!

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+Puniksem That is a shame that it is being cloned poorly. I've been happy with all of my Nitecore whistles and haven't experienced any poor performance from them.

[@Zodliness]

+TheUrbanPrepper Although allot larger I went for the Storm Whistle. Another good US product. The loudest I've found so far!

[@joecontreras4421]

Check in ebay there isalot

[@357Muzzleblast]

Yes, put it in a nice little gift box so she thinks she's getting something special...like jewelry...and then it turns out to be a crummy whistle (instead of that gold bracelet she's been wanting). Seriously, twenty bucks for a whistle is excessive unless it's made out of platinum! No, a five dollar police whistle will be fine. When they find my body under a bunch of rubble after an earthquake, I don't want an emergency responder to shake his head and say, “If only he'd had a larger whistle.“

[@elbeto2334]

Test it LOL ¡¡¡

[@billyparvin1276]

Wtf is going on. You can easily store this thing in your pocket while out hiking and if for some unseen reason you get lost some one can hear you from far off.

[@AGENT-tq1nm]

Just blow the fucking whistle

[@alanschaub147]

You never actually blow the whistle in the review video? Really? 🙄

[@TeddyB3ARGaming]

jesus christ thats loud

[@bernardf209]

Sorry to say this, but that whistle is weak. Have you tried fenix NW20? If not you should. Because they are way way better than those nitecore..

[@llaneraskull7848]

Bernard Fernandez I've tried Fenix, it sucks ass or safe to say, a loser whistle.. Nightcore is better.

[@pboone1231]

Learn how to whistle and you won't need a $20 whistle to begin with. I can whistle louder with my 2 fingers than most whistles. Maybe not pitch, but loudness.
