Hello!
My elderly neighbour used to be a Chief Superintendent and collects police memorabilia. He got me interested in early police whistles, and actually gave me one which once belonged to the Liverpool City Police. I used to assume these were like “referee” whistles with a pea for modulation. In fact, the police whistles produce two separate tones, set to close frequencies, to produce a beating effect. Naturally I decided to make a synthesised version, and in the process was able to adapt the engine to also synthesise a referee’s version which has a single tone modulated by a rotating “pea”. The sounds are distinctly different.
