The frequency of whistles is specified in the US inland version of the ColRegs Annex III:
It describes the fundamental frequency, and range. In summary: over 200 meters 70-200Hz 2 miles 75-200 130-350 Hz 1.5 miles 20-75 250-525 Hz 1.0 miles under 20 250-525 Hz 0.5 miles It also describes the volume of various overtone ranges. For the large ships this is 140-145 dB. For the smallest is 111-120 dB. wrote in message ...
