To my ear for whatever reason I think whistles sound better when not run off superheated steam.

Although I tend to agree, especially for those various chime whistles, those big deep "steamboat" type Hancock whistles do seem to sound better on superheated steam. N&W J Class locomotives are the obvious exception, as they reportedly use saturated steam supply for their whistles.
