there's actually a really big community for whistlers, have you ever looked into it? Which type of whistles can do you?

 

I don't know. I never studied it or learned that there even are types. I can just do many various ways of whistling by positioning my jaw, lips, and tongue in different ways. I can also do most of them interchangeably through either breathing in or out. Also if you know how to whistle at all, you can do some cool distortion stuff by doing a continuous breathing in or out through your nose. It's subtle but it's there.

 

The most I've ever been able to make of it is annoying my friends online by doing a very high-tone loud whistle into my mic lol

I love whistling myself, but not the standard style. I do a tooth whistle to make a cricket chirp sound

 

But there's the standard whistle that most kids learn by pursing your lips, then the two finger whistle most people do when they want to whistle loud, there's a tooth whistle which is like the standard whistle, but you use your top teeth instead of upper lip, and a few variants for whistle languages.

 

Also speaking of which did you know there are languages that uses whistles for phonetics!! It's really cool most of them are in remote mountain villages. Since it's loud, and doesn't destroy your vocal folds, they used it to communicate large distances.

 

I love humming while whistling too. Get that spooky vibe going. When you said distortion I immediately thought throat singing under the whistle and I had many questions lol

Oh yeah I forgot about that one, I haven't really found a practical use for it when it comes to music. At least, not while keeping sustainable breaths. It's really good for whistling guitar parts, though. Also the DOOM 2016 soundtrack's synths.

I can walk on my hands almost indefinitely. I can even climb one single stair on my hands, or at least I did one time on drugs.

If I possessed any kind of skill in carpentry, I assure you, it would not be useless.
