Sound

Context

The act of blowing the whistle – thinking about sound that is made when someone blows into it.

Temporality

Expected to be a short noise, but can be altered depending on how long someone blows air through it – this could stretch out the noise.

Description

Blowing this whistle would make a shrill, high-pitched noise. It is likely to be short and sharp, although blowing for longer would elongate the noise. The noise would be loud, as it was used at a railway station so would have to be heard by workers over the hustle and bustle of people and potentially over the noise of a steam train.
