Crafted in England since 1870, its durable black finish and universal lanyard compatibility make it the go-to choice for referees, coaches, and PE teachers who demand instant, reliable signaling in any environment. ## Description ACME has manufactured whistles in Birmingham since 1870. The Thunderer 660 is the whistle that defined the sound of the modern game, the original pealess sports whistle, first used to bring order and clear signaling to football. This is the Black 660. The black finish runs through the body so it stays visible on a sideline or gym floor and will not fade, which also makes it easy to keep separate from the other whistles in a referee or coaching set. The 660 is a pealess whistle, so there is no cork ball inside to stick or jam. The tone comes from the chamber itself, which means a reliable, powerful blast in rain, cold and heavy use. It fits standard neck and wrist lanyards and sits alongside other ACME whistles in a referee or coaching kit. Referees, coaches, PE teachers and game officials reach for the Thunderer 660 because it is loud, instantly recognized and obeyed. It carries across football fields, gyms, playgrounds and training grounds, and holds a steady volume on both a light and a hard blow. ACME whistles have shaped British sporting and public life since the first police whistle in 1883 and the first sports whistle in 1884. J Hudson & Co still designs and makes every whistle at its Birmingham factory. The Thunderer 660 is the most widely used sports whistle in the world, and each one carries 150 years of whistle-making, made in England. Common questions: the 660 is louder and clearer than a cheap molded whistle because of its chamber design and English manufacture. It needs no batteries. It is fine in rain and cold, and the pealess build means there is nothing inside to freeze or jam on a winter field. ## Features - THE ORIGINAL PEALESS SPORTS WHISTLE: The Thunderer 660 produces a loud, sharp blast that stops play and calls attention the first time it is blown. It is the whistle that gave the modern game its sound, and it remains the most widely used sports whistle in the world for one reason, it is heard and obeyed. - CHOSEN BY REFEREES, COACHES & TEACHERS: Made for anyone who has to be heard over a crowd, a gym or a full playground. Soccer and football referees, PE teachers, sports coaches and game officials rely on the Thunderer tone to control play and be understood instantly, without repeating themselves. - BLACK FINISH: A black body that stays easy to find on a sideline, in a gym or at the bottom of an equipment bag, so play is stopped the moment it needs to be. The color runs through the whistle, so it will not scratch or fade with heavy game day use. - FITS STANDARD LANYARDS & WHISTLE CASES: Works with neck lanyards, wrist lanyards and whistle pouches so it stays to hand on a sideline or in a gym rather than lost in an equipment bag. Ready the moment a decision needs signaling or a session needs stopping. - MADE IN ENGLAND SINCE 1870: J Hudson & Co has manufactured whistles in Birmingham since 1870, the year the company opened its first workshop. The Thunderer 660 is still designed and made at that same Birmingham site, carrying 150 years of whistle-making into every single unit. - PEALESS DESIGN, NOTHING TO JAM: There is no cork ball inside to stick, swell or seize up. The sound comes from the shape of the chamber, so the tone stays powerful and reliable in rain, in cold and through constant game day and training use, season after season. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002JF0JA | | ASIN | B0002JF0JA | | Brand Name | ACME | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (288) | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (288) | | Date First Available | 15 Aug. 2010 | | Department | Unisex | | Finish Type | Painted | | Included Components | Mouthpiece | | Instrument Key | B Flat | | Item Dimensions | 17.1 x 9.2 x 1.9 centimetres | | Item Weight | 0.01 Kilograms | | Item model number | 660 | | Manufacturer | ACME Whistles | | Manufacturer | ACME Whistles | | Manufacturer Part Number | 660-Black | | Material Type | ABS Plastic | | Model Name | S4516 | | Model Number | 660 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 17.15 x 9.22 x 1.91 cm; 10 g | | Product Warranty | Covered by uk statutory consumer rights. | | Sound Profile | trilling | | Style | Technical | | UPC | 717668116607 014891367142 | | Unit Count | 1.00 count | ## Images ![Thunderer 660 Pealess Referee Sports Whistle, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ZyK7v64iL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - Acme Thunderer Plastic Whistle - Fox 40 Classic Official Whistle with Break Away Lanyard (Black) - Fox 40 Breakaway Lanyard, Black - 100-0001 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/52915326-thunderer-660-pealess-referee-sports-whistle-black](https://www.desertcart.us/products/52915326-thunderer-660-pealess-referee-sports-whistle-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
