Whisting, 2

For those who do whistle or hum or sing, the choice of tune appears to reflect the person’s mood, or it is chosen to enhance their mood. Or selected to match their existing mood. Whistling has been found to be something humans tend to do as a way to break up the silence, the humdrum, the normal, the boring, or in self-entertainment. Some people never whistle or sing. Others whistle while they work as in the 1937 animated Disney film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, suggesting that whistling provided a pace for cleaning up the place. In The King and I, whistling a happy tune was a way to cover up being afraid. In Universal Pictures Les Misérables, the Song of Angry Men was about people who will not be slaves again. Bottom line? People whistle or sing for many different reasons, each likely as unique as each person’s brain.
