Whistling in Notation

How would I go about putting whistling into musical (or somekind of) notation? (Not that I plan on it) Are you aware of people who have done this?

The 'songs' could be reprouduced like sheet music so that everyone would have the best tunes to whistle.

Perhaps some of the more accomplished whistle compsers would create whistling symphonies which would be performed with several whistlers for all to enjoy.

I don't see why whistling couldn't be notated like any other instrument. The trouble, of course, is that not every whistler might be so hot on their sight-reading.

Don't try whistling in Germany. People will scream at you on the sidewalk.

And rightfully so. Whistling is fucking annoying

Whistling roxor!

However, I think having more than 1 person whistling at any time would sound like a swarm of bees, but in a bad way.

On a related note, I can whistle and hum at the same time. It harmonises somehow, and sounds great.
