Using your fingers to whistle can come in handy when you need to stop a passing taxi or get someone's attention. Whistling with your fingers is not easy, but with a little practice you will be able to whistle loudly in no time!

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Whistle with two fingers

1. 1 Bring the tips of your thumb and forefinger together. It doesn't matter which hand you use, it only needs to be one hand. You may find it easier to handle the task with your main hand. The connected fingers should form a ring.
2. 2 Open your mouth and pull your lips over your teeth. In this case, the teeth should not be visible. The lips should be slightly tucked inward.
3. 3 Push your tongue deeper into your mouth. First, bend the tip of your tongue up so that it looks towards the palate. Then, push your tongue deeper into your mouth to create space in the front. The distance between the tongue and the front teeth should be about 13 mm.
4. 4 Place your closed thumb and forefinger into your mouth. Slide your fingers into your mouth so that they touch your tongue. The ring formed by the fingers at this stage should take a horizontal position.
5. 5 Take a deep breath and close your mouth over your fingers. The lips should still remain tucked inside the mouth on the teeth. The only hole in your mouth will be the gap between your fingers. This is where the air flow will pass during the whistle.
6. 6 Blow out the air through your fingers. Blow forcefully, but in a way that doesn't hurt you. Don't worry if the whistle doesn't work on the first try. It may take some practice before you can use this method to whistle. If you can't whistle, take another deep breath and try again. In the end, you will succeed!

Method 2 of 2: Whistling with four fingers

1. 1 Fold the index and middle fingers of both hands into a house. Straighten the index and middle fingers on each hand separately from the rest of the fingers. Turn your hands with your palms facing you. Then bring your hands together so that your fingertips touch and form a house. Keep your ring and little fingers flexed. If necessary, you can hold them with your thumbs.
2. 2 Pull your lips over your teeth. No teeth should be visible. In this case, the lips should be tucked over the teeth.
3. 3 Insert the tips of your index and middle fingers into your mouth. The palms should also be facing you. In this case, the fingers in the mouth must be kept in the shape of a house.
4. 4 Use your fingers to move your tongue to the back of your mouth. Lift the tip of your tongue up to look at the palate.Then, with the tips of your index and middle fingers, push your tongue further inward from the underside. Move your tongue as far as possible.
5. 5 Close your mouth on your fingers. The mouth should be closed completely. The only place the air will pass through is the hole between the two pairs of fingers. It is this hole that will help you whistle.
6. 6 Blow air through your fingers and lips. Blow out the air forcefully, but so that it doesn't hurt you. The whistle may not work the first time. After each attempt, take a deep breath and re-close your mouth on your fingers. Keep trying and eventually you will hear the coveted whistle!
   • If you're having trouble, try adjusting the angle of your fingers or changing the force of your exhalation.
