A whistling kettle works by boiling water inside its chamber until steam builds up enough pressure to force a small piece of metal, called a whistle, to vibrate and produce a high-pitched noise. This noise signals that the water has reached boiling point and indicates it is ready for use.
The energy output of a whistling tea kettle is in the form of sound and heat. As the water boils and creates steam, the kettle whistles to signal that the water is ready. The heat energy is transferred to the water to raise its temperature to boiling point.
The whistling sound from a kettle occurs when the steam generated inside reaches a high enough pressure to force its way through the spout, causing vibrations that produce the noise.
The energy change in a whistling tea kettle is an increase in thermal energy. When the water is heated, its molecules gain kinetic energy, causing them to move faster and collide more frequently. This increase in energy eventually causes the water to boil and produce steam, resulting in the familiar whistling sound.
Tea kettles whistle when the water boils because the steam from the boiling water passes through a small opening in the kettle's spout, causing vibrations that create the whistling sound.
In a kettle, convection works by heating water at the bottom of the kettle. As the water gets hot, it becomes less dense and rises to the top, displacing the cooler water. This creates a circular flow of water as hotter water rises and cooler water sinks, leading to even heating of the entire volume of water in the kettle.

Yes, there is, but they look much the same - just without the whistling cover. The Chinese, who presumably know something about tea, boil their water separately, and then add it to the teapot. The concept of a "tea kettle" is unknown there.
The energy which powers a kettle ultimately comes from the Sun. While a kettle is powered by electrical energy if it is an electric kettle or gas if it is whistling kettle, the energy ultimately comes from the Sun and came to Earth as sunlight.

The cause is the water boiling. The effect is the kettle whistling.
Inside the kettle, the water is being heated by an electric element or flame. As the water absorbs heat, its temperature rises and eventually reaches the boiling point, causing it to turn into steam. The pressure from the steam builds up inside the kettle until it forces the steam out through the spout, producing the whistling sound characteristic of a boiling kettle.
In a whistling kettle on a gas stove, energy transfer occurs primarily through thermal conduction and convection. The gas flame heats the kettle's bottom, transferring thermal energy to the water inside. As the water heats up and reaches its boiling point, it converts to steam, creating pressure that forces air through the whistle, producing sound energy in the form of a whistle. Thus, energy is transferred from chemical energy in the gas to thermal energy in the water and then to sound energy in the whistle.
When boiling water, the steam produced escapes through a small hole in the kettle's spout. The vibrating steam creates the whistling sound we hear, signaling that the water has reached the boiling point.
There is a heating element in the kettle. As the water boils, the inner temperature of the kettle rises. Once the boiling temperature is reached, a small thermostat is triggered which turns the kettle off, so as to not boil continually. This thermostat works optimally with the lid on the kettle fully closed, if the lid is not fully closed, it does not switch the kettle off as quickly.
When a tea kettle whistles, it is because the liquid inside turns to steam and is forced by pressure through the small opening in the kettle lid. This phase change is a physical change, not a chemical one.
