esence of obstructions the sound field of a single whistle or of one of the whistles referred to in paragraph 1(f) above is likely to have a zone of greatly reduced signal level, it is recommended that a combined whistle system be fitted so as to overcome this reduction. For the purposes of the Rules a combined whistle system is to be regarded as a single whistle. The whistles of a combined system shall be located at a distance apart of not more than 100 metres and arranges to be sounded simultaneously. The frequency of any one whistle shall differ from those of the others by at least 10 Hz. Whistles — Canadian Modifications (h) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), in the Canadian waters of a roadstead, harbour, river, lake or inland waterway, the upper limit of the frequency range referred to in that paragraph may be expanded to be within the range of 180-2/100 Hz (± 1 per cent). (i) Notwithstanding paragraph (c), in the Canadian waters of a roadstead, harbour, river, lake or inland waterway, the whistle on a vessel of 12 metres or more in length but less than 20 metres in length may provide, in the direction of the forward axis of the whistle and at a distance of one metre from it, a sound pressure level in at least one 1/3rd-octave band of not less than the appropriate figure shown below within the frequency range of 250-2/100 Hz (± 1 per cent): (i) 250-450 Hz — 120 dB (ii) 450-800 Hz — 115 dB (iii) 800-2 100 Hz — 111 dB (j) For the purposes of this Annex, the expression “listening posts” means bridge wings or the bow. (k) For the purposes of this Annex, the methods described in Resolution A.343(IX), made by the Organization, for measuring noise levels at listening posts are recommended. (l) In the Canadian waters of a roadstead, harbour, river, lake or inland waterway, a power-driven vessel that is normally engaged in pushing ahead or towing alongside may, at any time, use a whistle whose characteristics fall within the limits prescribed in paragraph (b) for the longest normal length of the vessel and its tow.

In practice the range at which a whistle may be heard is extremely variable and depends critically on weather conditions; the values given can be regarded as typical but under conditions of strong wind or high ambient noise level at the listening post the range may be much reduced.
