Using a Brüel & Kjær 2250 sound level meter aloowed them to adhere to strict standards to ensure accuracy and reliability, and solidifying her position as the world’s loudest nose whistler.
She was delighted at not only achieving the record title but also gaining a technical understanding of her nose-whistling ability. While relishing her newfound fame, she is already contemplating the possibility of attempting an even louder nose whistle. An extra layer of charm to her story is the revelation that her 5-year-old son has inherited the same nose-whistling talent. LuLu dreams of a day when her son might surpass her record, making it a family legacy in the world of nose whistling.
