whistler here too…well, not that much but sometimes i do and i enjoy it 
for many there’s no need to whistle anymore i think, if you can carry music with you and put headphones over/in your ears; keeping head down on a phone doesn’t help either, what’s the point?

Remember a time when I was practicing beatboxing.
That must have been the closest I got from terrorism.

I do!
But I’ve noticed that when I do it at work or public somewhere, I’ll hear someone else start whistling too. I shut it then.
But did I start whistling because I subconsciously heard someone else whistle and they stopped when they heard me?
Is whistling the new yawn?

Me neither. My face won’t do that.
Why people don’t do it as much now as before … it makes me think of something the cartoonist Robert Crumb said, that the average person had become convinced that music was something made by special people, professionals, and that this discouraged people from making music themselves.
Presumably the fact that we all have a library of music in our cels, always handy, exacerbates this trend—you can just listen to a pro make your music for you.
It’s not only whistling—I never hear anyone sing, on the street or wherever, just as a way to express feelings or pass the time. At home growing up it was normal to me that my mom would sing, or that my parents would sing in the car on a trip.
The one exception I can think of in 21st century San Francisco was that occasionally I would hear someone rapping as they walked down the street—usually it sounded like a rap carefully memorized from a recording, something that spoke for and to the person reciting it. But lately I haven’t heard that either.

Avid whistler here!
I whistle. I agree that I don’t hear others do it much any more. Probably because they ruined the world.
We have this game in the Netherlands called ‘beschuitfluiten’
It’s basically trying to whistle after eating rusk.
