Shape your lips into an O. Make sure to leave a small opening for air to pass through.

Lick your lips; moist lips help make a better sound.

Step 2: Blow

Place the tip of your tongue behind your bottom teeth or against your bottom gums. Keeping your tongue in this position, blow air through the O.

Step 3: Repeat

Repeat blowing through your lips while maintaining an O shape. It may take a while before you hear a real whistle, so practice a few minutes a day in front of a mirror.

If no sound is coming out, adjust the placement of your tongue and shape of the O.
