It's origins come from the slave days. In that time period, kitchens were separate from the rest of the house as they posed fire hazards. In an effort to keep the enslaved help from eating the food of the family and their guests while they carried it in from the kitchen, the help were required to whistle.

How effective is a dog whistle in training dogs, and does a dog whistle work to communicate with them?

A dog whistle can be effective in training dogs because it produces a high-frequency sound that is not easily heard by humans but can be heard by dogs. This sound can be used to get a dog's attention or to signal a specific command. However, the effectiveness of a dog whistle depends on the individual dog and their training. Some dogs may respond well to a dog whistle, while others may not be as responsive. Overall, a dog whistle can be a useful tool in communicating with and training dogs, but it is not guaranteed to work for every dog.

A train whistle sounded in the distance is train a noun?

Yes. 'Train whistle' is a compound noun, which means that both 'train' and 'whistle' are nouns individually but here they work together. The word 'train' is applied to 'whistle' in the place of an adjective, that is, a word that describes the type of whistle. But have you ever heard a wolf whistle? Many compound nouns eventually run together, like handbook or cupboard, and maybe one day, wolfwhistle.
