I mean I don't, that's why I was suggesting one of those YouTubers should make one for the content. iirc StuffMadeHere has used metal deposition for some of his parts.

I think it would be an interesting fluid dynamics challenge to construct a whistle that creates the specific air pressure pattern to match the tie fighter sound.

Another relevant whistle is the Aztec death whistle. This YouTuber 3d prints plastic reproductions of it.

I have an Aztec death whistle, and that would scare the hell out of people. Might be fun as a slip-on attachment of some sort.

I wonder if someone has already patented tailpipe whistles in general, or if designing for specific sounds would be a sufficient "improvement" to the concept. We could be rich!
