I think you might have possibly hit the nail (bear) right on the head (eardrum)!

According to the following story, a "Whistles for Life safety" whistle was used to scare off a black bear. Yep, it was loud (120db), unfortunately no mention as to what note or pitch frequency was emitted. It's easy to plug one's ears and blow a 120db whistle. Can an "Effer" emit a 120db note? And if it could, how would a player protect their ears?

And, now, about that unique whistle design:

After reading about the whistle's design, I'm pretty sure a player couldn't produce a staccato at one pitch along with two continuous pitches at different frequencies.
