Since you helped the other guy, I wonder if you can help me with a different but related inability? I can whistle terrifically, but I’ve never been able to do the really loud one that some people use their fingers to do. My dad can do a killer finger whistle and I’ve always wanted to be able to do it, but alas, no amount of trying or YouTube video promises have made it possible for me.

There are two ways to do that whistle and they both involve having your tongue nearly vertical in your mouth and shooting the air through a small hole between the tip of your tongue and hard palate down right past your bottom lip. The hard thing is that you have to push a lot of air for it to work like that, which is why some people use their fingers to push up and hold their tongue. Ive been whistling my whole life and only learned that one in my 20s
