Whistling kettle

The whistling kettle (teakettle) from around the year 2000 is privately owned and serves the purpose of heating water on a stove.
There have been whistling kettles since the 17th century. They have a steam whistle, which generates its typical acoustic signal when the water in the kettle reaches its boiling point.
