Gary Byrum was doing something called the "Whizzler" but never saw the final outcome

Was thinking about something that probably already has been done, so this is exploration.
If you put a REAL coach's type whistle on a rocket, ducted the flow to create increased pressure at the inlet, would you hear an audible sound? Do you need to put a diverter or guard over the OPENING of the whistle to prevent the airflow over the whistle from distorting or muffling the sound? What kind of whistle was used in the screaming Mimi (I've read mixed reviews on whether it really worked or not.)
