Too quiet whistle (EN-76)

[Smokey]

Hello, on EN-76 is whistle too quiet when you are outside of that train.

 

In my opinion, it could be little bit louder.

Amplitude is just a bit lower than main horn. About 1dB difference in final mixer. What differs is it's range. Whistle have 150m while horns 500m, both with standard logarythmic rolloff.

i always thought the whistle was like the 'quiet horn' found in German trains, 
used most often when in a station (or at night) when you need to get someone's attention, or to reply to a zp9 signal to depart from the conductor/guard, 

Especially useful when in a covered station, where using the normal horn would blast the eardrums of everyone in the station.

There must be issue, because whistle cannot be heard outside of train.

 

Or they are just switched. Outside whistle is inside train and inside whistle sound is outside train.
