Daily Halacha - Is it Permissible to Whistle with a Whistle on Shabbat?

Is it permissible to whistle with a whistle on Shabbat?

It is forbidden to produce sound with a musical instrument on Shabbat, as a decree lest one repair a musical instrument. However, singing with one's voice is permitted and it is a mitzvah to sing in honor of Shabbat, songs and praises to Hashem [Chazon Ovadia 5, p. 235].

It is permitted to whistle with one's mouth on Shabbat even in a melodious manner, but using a whistle or noisemaker is forbidden [Chazon Ovadia p. 236].

Is it permissible to give a baby a rattle?

Toys for babies that make noise are permitted to be given to babies on Shabbat, and this involves neither the prohibition of muktzeh nor the prohibition of producing sound [Chazon Ovadia p. 259].
