How do you whistle loudly without using your fingers?

fancymover @fancymover (151) • India 31 Oct 08

I don't know how to whistle. But if someone is doing the same, then I will try to learn from them. But until now, I was always a loser. Do you know how to whistle. If yes, How.

Quillspirit What I want to know is, how to whistle loudly USING your fingers. Never could figure it out. My whistle is pathetic, lol.
