	I was asked to post the makor (source) of the Magen Avraham who says
  that one is aloud to whistle on shabbos. It is in Siman 338 Se'if Katan
  2. Look at the Ramah in Se'if 1 who seems to say that one is only aloud
  to whistle in order to call someone but not to whistle a tune (this has to
  do with a G'zayra not to play an instrument on shabbos lest you fix it which
  is not aloud on Shabbos). But the M.A. disagrees and says that you could
  even whistle a tune. Look it up for further clarification.
