On federally controlled waters, vessels that are 12 meters (39.4 feet) or longer are required to carry a whistle on board. Additionally, vessels less than 12 meters in length must have some means of making an efficient sound signal, which may include a whistle. This requirement is in place to ensure effective communication and safety on the water.
A whistle or bell, AND a horn audible for at least 1 mile.

In Pennsylvania state waters, all vessels are required to carry some type of sound-producing device, such as a whistle, horn, or bell. This regulation applies to motorboats, sailboats, and other vessels, particularly those over a certain length. The sound-producing device is essential for signaling in situations where visibility is limited or to communicate with other vessels. Compliance with this requirement helps promote safety on the water.

In Oklahoma, all recreational motorboats are required to have a wearable personal flotation device (PFD) for each person on board. Additionally, boats that are over 16 feet in length must have a throwable flotation device, such as a buoyant cushion or a ring buoy. It is also mandatory for boats to have a sound-producing device, such as a whistle or horn, to signal distress or communicate with other vessels.
Vessels operating away from the dock between sunset and sunrise must have navigation lights, sound-producing devices (such as a whistle or horn), and radar or radio equipment for communication and navigation. These devices help ensure the safety of the vessel and others in low-visibility conditions.
Every person on board is suppose to have a life jacket. If you are a kids it should be wore.
