Some of my premoulded stems whistle in high pitch. Since I drill my own stems there is no whistle at all.

The Austrian Pipemaker David Wagner once said he always could say if a pipe will smoke alright, that would be the case when none or a hollow deep sound was heard by drawing air. A pipe that whistles to him had some problems in the airway which could lead to moisture in the pipe.

Potentially possessed by Satan, unless it’s piping something from Tunes of Glory, in which case it’s just Alec Guinness, which is no biggie.

I've had this with one of my pipes, a pipe cleaner solved it in no time! Could be just an obstruction in the airway.
