well i guess that settles it... we need every fan who's going to take 2-finger whistling lessons this week

then have have an entire stadium of 70,000+ people 2-finger whistle the whole time on defense

It would be pretty damn funny if that became a "thing" at BoA.  70k people doing that might be debilitating to the players tho.

whatever works for you. The word "hey" seems to be the easiest to really engage your diaphragm, which is crucial for belting your noise.

If you can't whistle I recommend doing this with a Cardinals fan.

Great post OP, Panthers should hand out a plastic "Keep Pounding" sign that could be rolled into a megaphone.

The Huddler was on to something Moose. Linguistically, it's easier to maintain and channel open, rounded vowels that originate in the back of the mouth like "ah", "oh", and "oo". "Ee", "eh", and "ay" are alittle harder to maintain with so much air passing through the oral cavity, and therefore won't be maintained for as long. It literally uses less muscles, even at increased volume, to use ah, oh, and oo. I think even acousitcally, especially with hands cupped around the mouth, those three vowels reverberate more than the other three. 

I'm not pulling this out of my ass. I'm in two phonetics classes at the moment.

like I said, whatever works, as long as it doesn't include a diphthong ;)

The whistle is the real deal, guy behind me does it. I hate him and love him at the same time.

You don't like two thongs at a time? Lol

And please please save your voice when we have the ball.

Maybe you could sneak these in.

Or if you could get most of the stadum to play a high pitched noise from their phones.

So, what's stopping each of us from getting one pack of these and handing them out to random fans pre-game? Surely they can't confiscate all of them. Would you get tossed from the game for using one?

this is AMAZING

I can't imagine what it would sound like with only a handful of these in the crowd

here's the video from the instructable so people have an idea of what it is:

This reminds me that I have a small plastic megaphone somewhere that I'm sure I got from some sporting event.  I may have to dig that one up for Sunday.
