1 The Relationship Between Intraoral Pressure & Sound Pressure Level in Sports Whistles Donald S. Finan, Ph.D. Stephen M. Tasko, Ph.D. Gregory A. Flamme, Ph.D. Deanna K. Meinke, Ph.D. William J. Murphy, Ph.D. Adam R. Campbell Michael Stewart, Ph.D. James E. Lankford, Ph.D. Disclaimers: The findings and conclusions in this presentation have not been formally disseminated by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and should not be construed to represent any agency determination or policy. The whistles utilized in this study were a convenience sample of instruments commercially available at the time of a prior study, and were owned by one of the researchers.

2 Introduction Sports officials, coaches, police officers, and others commonly use sports whistles. As should be clear by now, the sound output from the whistles used by sports officials is high, and there is potential for sports whistles to contribute to hearing loss. Limited research has been focused on how blowing effort influences the resultant sound pressure level generated in sports whistles. This study examined relations between intraoral pressure and sound pressure level of a representative selection of commonly available sports whistles.

6 How does a whistle whistle?

7 How does a whistle whistle?

8 How does a whistle whistle? Sound produced by vortex shedding, reinforced by the resonant chamber.

11 Whistle Acoustics Frequency is dependent on the resonant chamber, not air velocity. Two-chambered whistles produce two fundamental tones & associated beats. Amplitude is related to driving pressure & associated airflow through the whistle.

12 Air Pressure and the Respiratory System Pressures: Alveolar (Lung): P alv Subglottal (Tracheal): P subg Intraoral: P oral (Intranasal: P nasal ) Air Flows: Transglottal Oral (Nasal)

13 Generation of Intraoral Pressure Relaxation Forces: Compressive forces of the ribcage on the lungs produced upon relaxation of inhalation muscles at the height of inhalation generates positive airway pressure. Muscular Forces: Generation of muscle force to compress the abdomen and ribcage (thus compressing the lungs) with abdominal (primarily) muscles.

15 Lung pressure associated with common activities Figure from Weismer & Hoit (2017)

16 Research Questions What range of oral pressures are needed to blow commonly available referee whistles? What is the relationship between oral pressure levels and generated sound pressure level? Is this relationship similar for whistles and effort levels? Can we recommend effort levels that will provide a safer level of whistle sound pressure level?

33 Conclusions Whistles appear to saturate at relatively low lung pressures (~ 20 cmh 2 0) Linear relationship between intraoral pressure and RMS amplitude of sound pressure (Pascals). Slopes of RMS Sound Pressure x Pressure show similarities for most whistles, but two had the steepest slopes: Fox 40 Sonik Blast & Sonik Blast CMG These two whistles produced the highest sound power (124 & 123 db, respectively) in our companion study and in our peak SPL data here. Long Blast data show nonlinearities not evident in the 3-Tweet data, especially at high intraoral pressures.

34 Implications While low effort levels yield lower sound pressure levels (re: previous presentation), whistles appear to saturate at relatively low intraoral pressure values. ~20 cmh 2 0 is less pressure than required to blow out birthday candles. Depending on how many are on your cake Can we recommend effort levels that will provide a less hazardous whistle sound pressure level? Perhaps not But, some whistles do have lower sensitivity and corresponding lower peak SPL for a given intraoral pressure.
