My father-in-law (who is from the "old country") was horrified to
hear me whistling the other day, and told me that "Jews don't do that".
I happen to enjoy whistling (both Jewish and secular tunes) as an
occasional alternative to humming, singing, etc., when walking or doing
housework.

Is there any halachic reason not to whistle?
