speaking from experience from ww2 Southampton bombing raids; bombs traveling at or above the velocity of sound; make a screaming, or whistling sound. The better you hear them; the more certainty it is not falling on you. The one that hits you you will not hear; for it gets there before its sound. ----

What energy is wasted when blowing a whistle?

When blowing a whistle, the energy that is wasted is primarily in the form of sound energy. As air is forced through the whistle, it vibrates and produces sound waves, which dissipate into the surrounding environment as noise. Some energy is also lost as heat due to friction and air resistance as the air passes through the whistle's chamber and creates turbulence. Overall, the majority of the energy input into blowing a whistle is converted into sound energy and dissipated into the surroundings.

Airplanes and whips also make the same types of noises.
