Most people can whistle or snap? But can you snap with all your fingers or you arm against your side? What about the flatulence noise made on the arm pit or just with the hands by compressing the air? Can you whistle with your fingers in your mouth? how exactly do you do it?

i am a decent whistler, i used to be better. my favorite was to whistle "eye of the tiger" on th way to high school soccer games. whistling removes all the machismo out of any song, which was the point. my friend used to join along. it was hilarious.
also, i can do a good imitation of "energy flash", singing.

I can:

whistle without the tongue (standard low pitched)
whistle with the tongue (high pitched)
snap with all my fingers except pinkys
make the arm pit noise.
make the multi pitched buzzing noise with mouth closed
make the poping noise with just mouth
make poping noise with finger in mouth
make the helocopter noise with tongue
make helocopter noise with cheek

I can't:

making poping noise with finger on outside of mouth
whistle with fingers in mouth (with any position)
make that drop noise by flicking bottom of chin (at least not consistantly)

also I can:
make the noise with a blade of grass between fingers (doesn't really count because of use of blade of grass)
the hand ocarina with blowing between thumbs
sing
talk
hum
whistle and hum at same time (not too well)

i can't:
do any throat singing

like tuvan throat singing, does anyone know how to do that?

I cant make the noise with the grass i think.

I can crack my head with my knuckles, right on top, and with the hollow of my mouth i can sustain a coconutty rendition of Mary Had a Little Lamb.

Tuvan throat-singing is the aural equivalent of chewing on aluminum foil.

I always wanted to learn how to do that waterdrop noise that Cameron does at the Stock Exchange.

That's the one I was gonna list as something I can do. Used to sit in the back of history class with a friend who can also do it and make the teacher think there was a leak.

I can also clap with one hand quite loudly by tensing up my wrist and leaving my fingers relaxed and then shaking my whole arm so the fingers slap against the palm of my hand. (Sort of like how folks pack dip with one finger tapping against the side of the cannister.) It looks way weirder than it actually is, and I've successfully taught several people how to do it just to get them to stop looking at my like a freak when I show it to them.

Answer to the Zen riddle and all that....

I can do a little Tuvan throat singing (only kargyra style though...which is the low rumbly sounding one).

I can do lots of animal sounds, like monkey, bird, and dolphin calls, and can make that mating-whales noise.

I can't whistle. At all. GRRRR!

hstencil the human beatbox, y'all.

― hstencil, Thursday, 17 April 2003 16:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, I do the human beatbox, I can switch "kits" (from "boom-ticky-click" to "thump-chicka-pop" to "humpf-siksik-crack" etc), I can hum basslines along with the beatboxing back in my throat, and sometimes when I'm on a rowdy drunken Roland Kirk-inspired roll I can even push Dr. Dre G-Funk style high-pitched "weeeeee-eeee-eeeeee"s out my nose, while doing the bassline in my throat AND the beatbox in my mouth. But then I laugh and it's all over.

I was gonna make an a capella drum n' bass record on 4 track with a friend, but we never go around to it.

Sometimes when the telemarketers call me I fool them into thinking they have dialled Squarepusher by accident, and they hang up

I can make the flatulence noise, but not with my armpit.

I can barely talk.

I used to be able to make this awesome gieger counter noise, it's really hard to do and I can't get it right anymore.

Also, I can make a strange squeaky noise through my false front tooth.
