Doesn’t genuinely work
By Melissa S. Taylor
All of the train whistle toys I’ve heard in truth sound like a low train whistle. This one is very high pitched and just sounds annoying.

Off key whistle
By Tim Newkirk
Its my own fault for buying this. I read the other reviews but decisive to order it regardless. This whistle is off key. I had a train whistle when I was a kid and this sounds not one thing like it. This product makes a more of a high pitched whistle thats actually harsh on the ears. Its just off key and it is annoying to listen to. Do yourself a favor and find a better made train whistle.

Sounds Like a Choo-Choo
By Jason T. Amsden
My son makes the choo-choo sound when I play the “what sound does the train make?” and I thought he would take pleasure in this toy. He likes it when I blow it and he gets somewhat excited. However, it does require an amount of wind pressure to efficaciously make this toy work and he can not make the sound himself. Given the low cost I think it was well worth it anyway.
