A whistle buoy is a type of maritime navigation buoy that emits a high-pitched sound designed to help seafarers navigate their way in low visibility conditions. There are several other names for a whistle buoy, depending on its purpose and position in the water. Some common synonyms for a whistle buoy include sonic buoy, acoustic buoy, noise buoy, and sound buoy. These buoys are typically powered by solar panels and equipped with electronic sensors that detect changes in the surrounding water, allowing them to emit a warning sound when a vessel is in danger of colliding with the buoy. Whistle buoys are an integral part of maritime safety and navigation, ensuring that seafarers can safely navigate through hazardous waters.
