Referee Whistle Sound Effect

📝 Description

The referee whistle is instant law — one piercing blast and all activity within earshot loses its legal standing. Decades of sports conditioning built the reflex: whistle means stop, someone is in trouble, and an explanation is owed. That authority transfers perfectly to comedy. Use it to call fouls on bad puns, interrupt escalating arguments, and officiate household disputes — dishes left in sinks, thermostat crimes. It also structures actual sports and training content. The whistle does not debate; it adjudicates. Appeals may be filed with the void.
