Aztec death whistle

The Aztec death whistle was a whistle exclusively used in several zones of the ancient Mexica,[1] which mimics the sound of a horrifying animal-like screeching, which was thought to be used in warfare to scare away their victims.[2] It is thought that hundreds of warriors would use the whistles at the same time.[2]
