If there happens to be a steam locomotive in the piece of media you are consuming, or a goal is scored while [[User:SGuySMW|SMW]] is in VC, then chances are this whistle will sound. The sad thing is that the whistle at the time of recording was actually fouled. But, alas, it is the generic North American steam locomotive whistle and I don't think we can escape that thought, even if the same tones will most likely never be collectively heard in real life again, since the same whistle (worn by Canadian National No. 3254) was repaired.
