- Shaman760, on 06/29/2008, -8/+51Hadn't been blown in nearly 15 years huh...sounds like the average Digger...
Really? I think they mean "Hadn't been blown in over 500 years" going from the context of the article. - majikmixx, on 06/29/2008, -1/+39Can I make this my ringtone for when my Ex calls?
- Conwaysb0718, on 06/29/2008, -0/+27He'll come out of the closet when he's good and ready.
- freakon, on 06/29/2008, -2/+25Title should be "Scientists blow into an old whistle"
- otakugeek, on 06/29/2008, -2/+20So you want the sound before AND after you pick up?
- dafragsta, on 06/29/2008, -1/+18Damn! Those things are creepy cool. They make dead ringer screaming sounds. The more musical ones sound pretty unique too. I bet Trent Reznor has acquired one of these.
- Temo1, on 06/29/2008, -2/+19Wow, I had my sound on pretty high when I played the audio of that whistle. My guinea pig started squealing and ran into the closet.
- jeexbit, on 06/29/2008, -1/+15that's some ***** freaky audio right there!
(btw, do NOT play the clip if you have a cat on your lap) - noahhoward, on 06/29/2008, -1/+1315 years since it was dug up.
- LaughingMan89, on 06/29/2008, -0/+10Pick up?
- michaelkirk, on 06/29/2008, -0/+9You have to click the text above the button to make it play.
- adam07, on 06/29/2008, -0/+7My dog heard them downstairs and started freaking out.
- BossKey, on 06/29/2008, -1/+8Is this the part where the demon monster is awakened by the sound that the ancient saviors of civilization hoped had been buried along with the demon's last reign over the Earth?
- Conwaysb0718, on 06/29/2008, -1/+7no.
- inactive, on 06/29/2008, -2/+8Sounds like a good time
- Temo1, on 06/29/2008, -0/+5Just saying, it's a pretty ***** up sound.
- fuzzybeard, on 06/30/2008, -0/+5Tonight, a Sci-Fi Channel original picture...
- Temo1, on 06/30/2008, -0/+4*she :)
- Mysk, on 06/30/2008, -0/+4Agreed. I wasn't expecting anything of substance, but that was some creepy *****. Dead ringer for a woman screaming bloody mary, and a couple of the others were just as bad.
I thought that the animal whistles were impressive, too.
Something tells me that's not a culture that I would have liked to have randomly wandered into. - stonebear, on 06/29/2008, -0/+4Mine was curled up on top the monitor. You'd think a cherry bomb had gone off.
Sounds hair raising enough, but to be fair to the Aztecs; a horny puma can make sounds just like a woman being murdered with a fork. - MasterGrief, on 06/29/2008, -1/+5Does "his nooldly appendage" also tell you to spell things improperly?
- fuzzybeard, on 06/30/2008, -0/+4How do you know this? Why don't you have a seat over there...
- TracerMan, on 06/30/2008, -0/+3They weren't kidding when describing the sound as spine tingling.
- vikingofmars, on 06/29/2008, -1/+4Where can i buy a working replica?
- verevi, on 06/29/2008, -1/+4Is it possible that it got messed up and that's not how its supposed to sound??
- ElTomacco, on 06/30/2008, -3/+6Colombian, not Columbian.
- shark72, on 06/30/2008, -0/+3I'm showing my age, but when I read of an ancient civilization leaving behind a flute, this is what came to mind:

FWIW, it's Wil Wheaton's favorite episode. - mushoo, on 06/29/2008, -0/+2Here's a death whistle.
https://ssl.perfora.net/www.flutesbynash.com/sess/ ... - Conguent, on 06/30/2008, -0/+2Whoa that was awesome. I hope John Zorn gets hold of one of those.
- dabura, on 06/30/2008, -1/+3cientist....lol, in a hurried to submit this story before MrBabyman does?
- bakagaigin, on 06/30/2008, -0/+2That and some of Eye's own screeching could result in many bleeding ears.
- dhughes, on 06/29/2008, -1/+2 My spine will have to remain untingled, the play button is grayed out for me.
- bluenash, on 06/30/2008, -0/+1sounds like an wounded animal call to lure in prey to me
- dhughes, on 06/30/2008, -0/+1I tried that too but it didn't work but this time it did, weird. Some weird FF3, Linux bug.
- Conguent, on 06/30/2008, -0/+1Yeah it would.
I'm glad there are other diggers that know of Zorn. - Jauladeoro, on 08/27/2008, -1/+2Some of those sounds are really scary. Sounds like a woman screaming and some kind of monster in a horror movie. Reminds me of the noises those messed up people made in "I am Legend". I'm going to have nightmares.
- charlietuna, on 06/30/2008, -0/+1Windy screetch.. hmm
Like blowing over the top of a beer bottle mebbe? - DragonDru, on 06/30/2008, -0/+1Yup. Those are some cat scaring sounds.
- username7410, on 06/29/2008, -2/+3Did the blowers face melt off immediately? Surely something that looks like that /must/ be cursed.
- baudbwoy, on 06/30/2008, -0/+1that was some scary *****
- MasterGrief, on 06/29/2008, -3/+3I actually did, though it made no apparent sense.
- gryphon50, on 07/02/2008, -0/+0it's the aztecs we're talking about. I'm sure that is exactly how it is supposed to sound.
- TexasShiv, on 06/29/2008, -4/+4I see what you did there. -_-
- mCanada, on 06/30/2008, -1/+1It was a poor attempt at /s
- Millsee, on 06/29/2008, -3/+1Majikmixx....... you just bust my gut!
XD - TexasShiv, on 06/29/2008, -5/+2Omg... 15 whole years!?
- funkyloki, on 06/29/2008, -7/+2Dug up, or Dugg up?
- alexj306, on 06/29/2008, -13/+4***** THE RIAA
