I've used this whistle for almost a year with my dog. She ranges far away when we're out hiking, and always hears this whistle and comes right away, and yet it doesn't bother my ears. I had tried different types of regular whistles and, because my hearing is pretty sensitive, they actually made my ears ring when I blew them several times for the dog. The megaphone on this whistle makes it comfortable for me by directing the noise forward. I prefer the orange whistle over the clear, because it seems to have a slightly lower tone. (Though I've met others who prefer the clear.) I discovered it initially when I heard the sound of this whistle across a big field, used by someone trianing their dog. At that time I'd tried many other whistles and thought this one sounded perfect from a distance (loud, but not screeching), so I walked over to the dog handler and asked what whistle it was. You can use a much cheaper whistle (such as the kind that come with a compass and goes on a key chain, which I think has a decent sound) ..but since I use mine quite a bit, it's well worth it to have one that is less annoying to my hearing.
Save your money and buy another whistle.It's very large and claims to save the handlers hearing. When blown there's a vibration that is very annoying to my ears.A child's toy whistle provides better responses from my dogs....
