A Whistling Bing

You may need to turn the volume down since this 130/53 has quite a shrill whistle.The engine was run in this fashion to achieve something approaching a tick-over speed-

Very nice machine and suitably shrill too. Coincidentally, I'm very glad you made the remark about the volume, not because it saved my hearing, but because I noticed that my speaker was muted. That wouldn't normally matter, but I was waiting for some work-related email that triggers a distinctive sound when it arrives -- so that I'll know even when I'm not at the computer -- or at  least it will when the speaker isn't muted.

Anyway to make a long story even longer, I unmuted the machine and heard the awaited message arrive a few minutes later. Had it not been for your video I'd probably have waited another frustrating  hour or so before checking again.

It is shrill indeed

It's that shrill That I watched the majority of the video muted, it didn't spoil it that much.

The whistles on the majority of my engines are pretty hopeless.This Bing whistle is in a league of its own.

Certainly makes a lot of noise.  

Just what the doctor ordered.

That's a really good whistle. I should know. I had my sound turned right up by mistake.

The engine and the whistle are both working very well I suppose after I have got muted down the speaker set on my PC.  To be fair : You´ve got a nice engine there !

cheers Joe

Thank you everyone for your comments,including some very amusing ones.

I enjoyed that. It's often hard to capture the true sound of a whistle on video

Nice engine & the whistle at full volume has saved a trip to the doctors to have ears syringed
