ACME Alarm Whistle
Since the dawn of time, humans have sought to imitate bird songs and reproduce the sounds of nature.
From this fascination emerged instruments that are both playful and amazing, capable of bringing to life the magic of forests, clearings and sound tales.
At Rhythms & Roots, we have assembled a wide selection of whistles, bird calls and sound effect instruments for all ages and creative desires.

Make birds sing with our whistles and flutes
Our bird whistles allow you to realistically imitate the songs of the cuckoo, blackbird, tit or lark. Some were once used for hunting, others are perfect for musical awakening, animation or experimental composition. Models like the Susu whistle or the Vogelpfeiferl are particularly appreciated by children, but also by curious musicians.
Rare sounds and special effects at your breath
Our collection also includes sound effect instruments: thunder drums, rattles, clickers or animal calls (cow, sheep…). Ideal for sound design in theater plays, podcasts, shows or films, they revive the imagination.
Traditional whistles, shamanic objects and curiosities
Also discover rare or symbolic pieces: chacapas (leaf rattles used in ayahuasca rituals), police and locomotive whistles from J. Hudson & Co., or even English sirens and slide whistles. A nod to the burlesque world of ACME and its effect machines in cartoons.
Explore a unique and surprising sound collection: from bird calls to ritual effects, each instrument tells another way to make breath speak.
