I posted about this issue when I first started to see reviews and videos of this engine as I had ordered one BTO. Lionel stated to me that I had made the only complaint on this engine and that the whistle they put it in was the "prototypical" whistle decided on by Lionel engineers...everything else about the engine is fantastic but the whistle clearly does not fit, like not even close lol I still love legacy steamers, but this engine was the last engine I will ever preorder unless Lionel releases the sounds beforehand as part of an interactive catalog. Oh well!
