Whenever an object is falling from the sky towards a character, it is often accompanied by a high pitched whistling tone that both increases in volume and decreases in pitch as the object approaches the ground. It is usually heard while a Shadow of Impending Doom engulfs said character. May be accompanied by a Stuka Scream or a dust cloud. Usually, though not always, an example of artistic license, as in Real Life, the pitch of the whistling noise would increase rather than decrease as the object accelerated towards the ground, due to the Doppler effect. Possibly justified in that those who have heard a bomb whistle and lived to tell about it were usually in a position (such as the plane) moving away from it. Please remember that if you should ever find yourself in an area often bombarded from the sky, that not all projectiles make such a sound. If you are informed that something deadly may land nearby, you should duck or take cover, even if you don't hear the whistle. |

In Star Ocean: The Second Story Chisato has a move that calls in an airstrike that drops bombs on an area of the combat screen complete with Bomb Whistles. The fact she can do this deep UNDERGROUND makes the bomb whistles the least head scratcher. | |

Falling bombs in Battlefield 1942 make this exact sound. Because bombs do more damage to soldiers on the ground in the game, everyone stands up and starts running away while jumping up and down. | |

Looney Tunes: The cartoons are the most frequent users of this trope. The whistle makes sense in most of these, as the viewer is shown an overhead shot that clearly shows the character's fall. Most often applies to the Coyote. | |

Rocko's Modern Life: In "Cabin Fever", Mr. Bighead "helped" Rocko and Heffer by making the head. Mr. Bighead tries to ruin their fun by making the head into a huge snowball which he pushes down the nearby mountain. In Self-Disposing Villain style, the snowball rolls past the boys, up the adjacent mountain's curve, which launches it into the air above Mr. Bighead. He stares at it while it creates a Shadow of Impending Doom complimented with a Bomb Whistle. | |

I'll report him for safety violations." The plane then drops its bomb, whistle included, into the shipyard, producing a dandy explosion.

In one round of Swannee-Kazoo on I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, the team had to play The Dambusters March on kazoo and swannee-whistle (slide whistle). For the first half the swannee-whistle played the melody while the kazoo was used to make aeroplane noises, then the kazoo took over, and the swannee played a series of Bomb Whistles. | |

Tex Avery MGM Cartoons: This is used a lot, but "Blitz Wolf" takes it quite literally. The Wolf fires a whistling bomb at the pigs, but the main pig stops it by holding a magazine pin-up poster. The bomb stops in midair and does a Wolf Whistle, then flies back and returns with more bombs to look at the pin-up, whistle at it and faint. | |
