I presume this is like a giant fan whistle that you sometimes get in a Christmas cracker?! The warning on the website that it isn't quite like the real thing says it all!!  :))

That's well phat.  I have ordered one for my 50d and, due to the exhaust size being outside the seller's recommended sizes, I am going to weld a plate across my N/S/R exhaust outlet to get the noise just right.
