They are not whistling it. The ringtone IS a whistle. [thumbsup]

I have stared at at least three people as they did it so far. One guy sat in our waiting room and did it every 10 minutes for like 6 hours. So yeah, I'm sure.
And that dude is still alive? I'm not so sure I could have shown as much restraint myself. 
I don't think I could have sat in a waiting room for 6 hours.
I haven't heard it. Link to a WAV file or something?

Shhhhh.... remain calm.... avoid eye contact....
Maybe they do it to get people to check their phones, or they just conspired to make you crazy

In reply to Toyman01:
That's it! Now why are people whistling it all the time?
In reply to Javelin:
Got me. It's one of Samsung's default notifications. That whistle is a little annoying to say the least. We have 4 Samsung phones and I changed all of them.
Because those ads are fantastic.

To prank people into looking at their phones...or it somehow got stuck in their heads even though it's annoying.
Maybe this one. If so, watch out.

if you do not know about 'the whistle' you do not exist, therefore none of us read your post and i am not actually replying.......it may be possiable your are dreaming.
That would be funny for about a day, then it would be changed with extreme prejudice.

Living? Hell, I caused that recreationally....too much angle grinder, not enough hearing protection. Now I always wear protection, but it's too late to do anything other than trying to keep the ringing from getting worse.
I have this for my text notification:
It scares the bejeezus out of everyone in hearing distance. 
Ahh...the joy of being hearing impaired.
