whistling

“I heard someone whistling the show’s theme song, and it wasn’t a child — it was an adult sweeping the street,” he says.

"Heavy rain is pouring now, and I can hear the wind whistling."

Sánchez heard a whistling sound pass above him, and 10 more after that.

"The wind is whistling and there are sounds of things falling. The electricity went out about an hour ago, and we cannot see anything."
