A whistle is a short flute having a stopped lower end and a flue that directs the player's breath from the mouth hole at the upper end against the edge of a hole cut in the whistle wall, causing the enclosed air to vibrate. It has no finger holes and sounds only one pitch.

Whistling produces a loud and pitched sound that approximates a sine wave. These sounds travel well over large distances [1] and are easy to discern from other biological sounds by the rare occurrence of pure-tone sine waves in nature.

Air enters the whistle at one end. As the air reaches the other, closed end, all the air molecules "pile up" on top of each other and cause a high-pressure region. The air escapes out the little hole in the end, making the noise you hear. The frequency of the sound is dependent on the length of the whistle.
