Warning, this recording is extremely loud, so turn down the volume. 
I recently bought myself a ceramic death astec whistle. It looks like a skull, and apparently astec people were blowing it when someone died as a part of some kind of a ritual or something. Ofcourse this is not an original but a replica, so the sound is much more harsh and it sounds like a screaming woman. Imagine going through the forest at night and hearing that sound from afar. It is very loud, that's why the recording is distorted. Enjoy, and feel free to prank others with it 😂

Did some reading on this and they used to use it in battle at night to scare the enemies, who were in their encampments often not too far away. There were times that the usage of this whistle caused their enemies to retreat completely.

Well I mean, I would probably retreat too if I heard that out of a sudden lol

That's so cool. How much was it?

I've always wanted one of these. The Aztecs are so interesting.

I guess it was around 15 dollars, I don't no because I'm using a different currency.

god I am tempted to set this as my alarm for 5AM now

by the way, if anyone is curious I think you can find a free sound lib of this wistle on the boom library site

Im already retreating 👋
