If you’ve ever blown across the top of a bottle, then you’ll have produced a whistling sound. The harder you blow, the higher in pitch the sound becomes. Since the air is travelling faster, it will bounce around the inside of the bottle more frequently. This increase in frequency means that the sound we hear sounds higher in pitch. Gaps might be found on the outside of the window. If the silicone seal is incomplete or damaged, then sudden gusts of wind may find their way into gaps around the frame. If you’ve got storm shutters, then these might also vibrate during strong winds – especially if they’re not properly installed. Gaps inside a window The novel was turned into a stage play. Film rights were bought by Bryan Forbes and Richard Attenborough, who had moved into film production. They were friends of John Mills and Mary Bell and secured Hayley Mills to play the lead.

Via avoidable deaths and errors, cover-ups, misuse of public funds, bullying, abuse and victimisation the author charts out in searing detail his demotion, punishments and exile from both family and NHS and the subsequent brutal legal process that followed his illegal dismissal. The space between the window aperture and the window frame can also contribute to the window buzzing in the wind that we hear. Hollow spaces can act as amplifiers, causing quiet sounds to get louder (think of the body of a piano or acoustic guitar). When a new window is installed, the installer will fill any gaps with expanding foam insulation to prevent this noise from occurring. When the film was released I felt really disappointed,’ says Pam. ‘All the different places had been mixed together so, geographically, it didn’t make sense to me.

After being interrupted by Kathy in his reading at a café of Gently At The Summit, her parish priest avoids all questions of Christ and turns the tables, accusing the world of stealing church property. Our sincerest gratitude goes to a person who has tirelessly fought with passion, dignity and sheer determination against an organisation that wish to silence the honesty of a whistle-blower." Old sash windows tend to be more prone to creating unwelcome whistling sounds than other sorts of windows – particularly as they age. Over time, a wooden-framed sash window may begin to warp and shrink, leading to gaps forming. These gaps can allow air to pass through, which as well as being terribly heat-inefficient, will cause that unwelcome whistling sound. Are you finding that your windows whistle when it’s windy? Your windows might buzz when the wind is blowing in only one certain direction, or you may find that it occurs whenever the climate is windier than normal. Crowther, Bosley (23 April 1962).

A few years ago I went to see Hayley in a play in Newcastle,’ she says. ‘I thought about going round to see her afterwards but I didn’t fancy being in Newcastle city centre that late at night so I didn’t bother. It’s something that I’ve regretted ever since. The novel was published in 1959. Mary Bell based the three children on her own children, including Hayley Mills. [4] She married and had three sons, and she now has two granddaughters. She and her husband have lived in Wales, Nottingham and Cambridge and spend half the year living in Northumberland, and the other half at their bungalow in Cyprus.In 2015, and after blowing the whistle on a series of near misses, he reluctantly reported an avoidable death, cover-up and ongoing surgical risk-taking to the Care Quality Commission. We can reduce the volume of the whistling sound (and indeed, the amount of any other sound coming through your windows) through a number of steps. The first and most obvious is to identify any draughts. If the sealant has shrunk or deteriorated over time, leaving gaps around the windows, then the window whistling sound will be able to get through (and so too will the cold wind that’s causing the noise).

At the request of Lloyd Webber, Kenwright brought this production to the Palace Theatre, London in March 2006, where it played a limited run until August, filling the gap between the closure of another Lloyd Webber musical, The Woman in White and the opening of the Monty Python musical Spamalot.

Like all the other local children involved in Whistle..., he had no desire to enter the world of acting. ‘It was just a one-off and I was never tempted to pursue it any further.’ Unwelcome sounds emanating from your windows are almost always the result of air leakage and therefore the components of your window vibrating where they shouldn’t. To eliminate windows making a noise when the wind blows, it’s essential to first identify exactly what’s causing the problem. In most cases, whistling is the result of wind passing through a slight gap in the window – and anything that can be done to close that gap will help to eliminate the whistling. Filling hollow spaces and securing things into position will help reduce the noise – so be sure to do so. The same goes for whistling noises coming from your front door.
