My mom loves to drink tea and has mentioned in passing a few times that she just wishes she could find a tea kettle that wasnt so obnoxiously loud. What she wants is a tea kettle that will whistle but not at such a loud and high pitched tone. I thought this might be a perfect gift for her this Christmas.
I know nothing about tea kettles or good brands for tea kettles so any suggestions would be helpful and appreciated
I have a whistling teakettle (I mostly make coffee but the process isn't any different when the water is in the kettle).
When I put the kettle on the burner it steadily rumbles more and more as it gets hotter, which makes sense to me. (Also idk if it matters but I've only ever used it on electric stovetops. I may have used it over a flame once or twice a long long time ago but I don't remember now.)
What doesn't make sense is that about 60 seconds before it whistles it gets much quieter.
I can time everything more precisely and measure the capacity of the kettle and about how much water I typically put in if you need that information. I could also possibly do other observations if advised like I have a meat thermometer but I don't know how I would stick it in the kettle while maintaining the pressure.
Is my kettle weird? It's nice that it does that because I use it a lot in the middle of the night and it's good to get back to it before it really starts whistling. I'm just a curious person and frequently wonder why it does that.
(Edited to add more details that occurred to me)
I've posted this before but I didn't get an answer. I wanted to see if I could try again.
An old lady is sitting with somebody else on a grass field. I think she is sitting with another woman, but I'm not sure. I think they may be having a picnic. The old lady is having some mental issues, possibly dementia. The other person she is talking to says something that she misunderstands or possibly is not to her liking, so she stabs them in the back. Meanwhile, a third party (maybe the old lady's daughter?) is getting tea for everybody from the kitchen. We see the knife in the back of the lady at the same time the tea kettle is whistling.
It's a scene that has been stuck in my mind since I was a child. I definitely watched it during daytime television in the 90s, possibly early 2000s, but more likely 90s. It had the vibe of a Murder She Wrote episode, but it could have been a lifetime or hallmark movie, something really cheesy like that.
Any ideas?
Honestly, I just want to enjoy and smile when heating up a kettle.

Update: I ended up getting this kettle called the Clyde, made by Fellow products. It is large enough for several cups of water, has the harmonic whistle, and is a clean, modern design.
I'll have to figure out how to upload a video clip so you can hear the around that it makes.
Has anyone ever found a gooseneck kettle with both a whistle and thermometer?
I just ruined my second kettle yesterday after accidentally letting it boil dry while in the other room. While I plan to take additional precautions (setting an alexa alarm, etc), I was hoping to try to make it even more foolproof this time.
It also means I don't have to break out the backup kettle from the cobwebs at the back of the cupboard.
I admit to some laziness in not doing it a week ago.
As the title states, my OR15 is making some strange static TV/tea kettle whistling sounds when first powered on. At first, I thought it was interference from my guitars, but I've tried plugging synths into it, and it does the same thing. I recorded a sample of it doing it without any instrument plugged into it.
It usually takes about 30-60 seconds to start making the noise, and the noises usually last between 30 seconds and a couple of minutes. Here's a sample of what it sounds like: https://soundcloud.com/supergiantsloth/orange-or15-amp-static-whistle-noises-when-powered-on
Any help is appreciated!
I am shopping around for a good kettle for my brother-in-law. He has specified that he wants “has a soft whistle; like a train”. He’s a designer and very particular about design and aesthetics.
In Season 1 Episode 7, towards the beginning when Reese helps a murder witness escape a Russian hit team closing in on him, prior to meeting Reese, the witness puts a tea kettle on the stove to where it is whistling. Why did he do this? What is the significance / reasoning? I think I've seen this in other shows as well when someone is in a similar situation and I can never understand why.
