Whistling. Took decades and I can do it two different ways (lips and teeth). I now do it subconsciously when listening to music where I’ll typically add other melodies or harmonies. I can bird call pretty much flawlessly. Loudest I get is over 100dB. Average is low 90s. Not much use but it’s fun.
When you say teeth do you mean like with your tongue on the roof of your mouth/behind front teeth? Or is there something new I can learn?
This exactly. Don’t know how else to describe it. Most people don’t realize it’s even possible.
Maybe the teeth gap? I have a very small front teeth gap (probably <1mm) and can produce a very high pitched annoying whistle with it.
Ah maybe. I was I guess blessed with not having that ability.
