13->''"As I got out of the car arriving I got the most gorgeous wolf whistle from somebody, and I thought, 'Huh! This is going to be alright!'"''
14-->-- ''' WAAF Mary "Bubbles" Moore''', ''Death by Moonlight''.
15
16Let a [[HeadTurningBeauty hot, sexy woman]] stroll through a crowd of males and one or more of them will emit this classic sound, guaranteed. (It's most accurately transcribed as "Wheet-WHOO!", although a simple "Whoooo!" might also suffice.) The Wolf Whistle is a staple of old films and cartoons of the '30s and '40s, most notably the works of Creator/TexAvery. The Wolf would acknowledge the presence of [[Literature/LittleRedRidingHood Red]] with this whistle.
17
18It should be noted that the Wolf Whistle isn't restricted to men, on occasion women will use it to express approval of the new stud in the environment, and can even be used for ''objects''. A brand new sports car, for example, can also prompt a whistle about the "hot ride".
19
20This was noted the most common Wolf Whistle, usually approval of thought to find a person sexily attractive. A slightly different version of the Wolf Whistle involves a single, lower-pitched elongated tone, usually while the character stares at the person/object in question. It's more commonly used today than the classic whistle.
21
22Variations include the "wolf howl", the "purr", the "growl", and the "dog pant". Note that carnivorous mammals always seem to be referenced.
23
24May also have the whistler become [[MetaphoricMetamorphosis an actual wolf, or have a wolf head]]. Not to be confused with a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_interval wolf fifth.]]
25
26Related to ConstructionCatcalls, with the difference that this trope is always used for comedy, never for drama except as an intentional subversion, due to the GrandfatherClause induced by the Creator/TexAvery cartoons that made the Wolf Whistle way too characteristic of parodic cartoons to be taken seriously as anything else.

[[ChekhovsGun Sure enough]], the last thing TheDragon hears on this Earth (other than the big boom) is Bond's wolf whistle.
83* ''Film/TheMask'': It's actually brought up in the film that hero Stanley Ipkiss is a huge fan of Tex Avery's cartoons.

91[[folder:Literature]]
92* ''Literature/TheMoonIsAHarshMistress''. Manny's reaction when he's introduced to Wyoh, who just gives a curt nod in acknowledgement as [[MsFanservice she gets at lot of that]]. Luna society is very polite, especially towards women due to gender-imbalance; manhandling a woman would get you thrown out the airlock, but wolf whistles are acceptable behaviour.
93* ''The Takers'' by Jerry Ahern. There's a RunningGag of Mary-Frances Mulrooney's skirt has a [[MarilynManeuver blowing up]], providing everyone with a PantyShot.

100* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': At the end of "Wake Up Plan", Mr. Boynton falls asleep on a chair in the hall. Miss Brooks doesn't wake him up, but sits beside him. Mr. Boynton whistles in his sleep!
101* ''Series/PersonOfInterest''. When Root (played by Creator/AmyAcker) tasers the guards on a prison bus and steps onto it to free one of the cons, the other cons show their verbal appreciation including this trope. Root takes it in stride, casually tasering one man with an OffhandBackhand when he gets too annoying.
102* ''Series/TheProfessionals''. In "Man Without A Past", Bodie thinks he's being followed, so does a handbrake turn, screeches to a halt in the middle of the street and jumps out brandishing a pistol. There's no sign of his pursuer, and a line of people waiting at a nearby bus stop proceed to clap and wolf whistle.
103* ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'': In [[https://youtu.be/B-GTvgjzomg?t=59 Weekend Update]] for Season 47 episode 5[[labelnote:*]]November 6, 2021[[/labelnote]], Colin Jost says the International Handball Federation says that female players can wear biking shorts instead of bikini bottoms, but the referees will have to whistle with a Wolf Whistle.

106[[/folder]]
107
108[[folder:Magazines]]
109* [[https://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large-5/whistle-you-dumb-bastard-george-booth.jpg A cartoon]] George Booth did for ''Magazine/TheNewYorker'' shows a young guy sitting on some steps silently watching a woman stroll past on the sidewalk. He, in turn, is being watched by two older women, one of whom says "Whistle, you dumb bastard!"
110[[/folder]]

119* Music/ThreeOhThree released a song in 2009 called Starstrukk that features wolf whistles heavily in between lyrics describing how attractive women are. It went memetic for a time with edits that replaced the whistling with another sound, one that either also sounds like whistling or comically doesn't.
120[[/folder]]
121
122[[folder:Pinballs]]
123* Creator/{{Bally}}'s ''[[Pinball/PlayboyBally Playboy]]'' and Creator/SternPinball's ''[[Pinball/PlayboyStern Playboy]]'' play a whistle when starting a new game.

130[[/folder]]
131
132[[folder:Theme Parks]]

148
149[[folder:Web Original]]
150* ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'': Used a few times, such as here:
151** ''[[http://whateleyacademy.net/index.php/content_page/9-original-canon/279-hive-part-4-who-dun-it Who Dun It?]]: After Hive walks out of the shower, she gets one from Carmilla:
152--->I washed my hair, got out, and dried my hair and myself. Slipping back into my bedroom, I heard a wolf whistle from the living room, then, "My, my, I didn't know toes could blush." I continued into the bedroom and got dressed in my jeans and flannel shirt.
153** ''[[http://whateleyacademy.net/index.php/content_page/9-original-canon/392-the-devil-s-dance-part-one The Devil's Dance (Part 1)]]'': Hippolyta DoesNotLikeMen, and has a bad reaction to hearing a wolf whistle at her Halloween costume:
154--->Her golden hair was obviously windswept and seemed to bode hell for brushing it out later. Her outfit was ''fur''; light violet in color and well, it covered the "important" bits. Dimly I recognized her as being dressed as a character from a video game, ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger''[='s=] Ayla. Not to be confused with the quiet-spoken Ayla of Team Kimba, Hippy is um, loud, outspoken and "rash".\
155"Oh My God!" said Mercy with a wide-eyed expression, "Who talked her into that?"\
156"That would be telling," replied the Fuub with a smirk.\
157I cringed as Hippy directed her seeming ire on someone whose wolf whistle was louder than the music in the background. "Oh shit, she is gonna moider him," I pointed to the suddenly moving Hippy and the crowd that dispersed around Akira, who it seemed was coming as Tenchi too, along with the rest of the Power Rangers.
158[[/folder]]
159

166-->'''Tank:''' Yeah, whistle a show tune, '''''YA DRAG QUEEN!'''''
167* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'': Yakko and Wakko's call of "Helllooooo Nurse" uses the same cadence even though it isn't technically a whistle. Dot's response to her brothers' actions is always the same: "Boys..."
168* In the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "The Perfect Castaway", Peter says that he used to be a construction worker in New York, but he never got the catcalling right. Cue to Peter working [[ConstructionCatcalls on a construction site]] with three other guys while an attractive woman walks by:

173* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfZelda1989'': In "The Ringer," Link sees Zelda out on the balcony below his and wolf-whistles at her while commenting "Looking good, Princess! Especially from ''this'' angle!" It earns him a punch in the face from her later.

179** In "WesternAnimation/RhapsodyRabbit", WesternAnimation/BugsBunny flips his book of sheet music and stops on a pin-up girl. A wolf whistle emits from the audience, and an embarrassed Bugs flips the book further.
180** Bugs gives a teasing one to Elmer upon discovering [[OfCorsetsFunny he's wearing a girdle]]. (This was during the brief period in time Elmer was drawn chubby).
181** In ''WesternAnimation/HollywoodStepsOut'', a selection of Hollywood hunks (''e.g.'', Creator/WallaceBeery, Creator/RonaldColman, Creator/ErrolFlynn, Creator/WilliamPowell, Aubrey Smith, and Creator/SpencerTracy), while watching "bubble dancer" Sally Rand, wolf-whistle and go, "Baaaby!"
182** At the end of "Broom-Stick Bunny", Witch Hazel accidentally drinks [[HotWitch a beauty potion]]. When she asks the genie in her magic mirror if she's still "the ugliest one of all", the genie growls lustily and lunges at her.
183* ''WesternAnimation/TexAveryMGMCartoons'': ''WesternAnimation/RedHotRidingHood''. About ten examples in the first minute alone, by a literal wolf. Grandma did this joke once to him in the cartoon too.

It happens again a few more times of a joke, in the later series.
187* Raphael once did this in the ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'' episode "Michelangelo The Sacred Turtle" when he saw April in the maid servant outfit Professor Tut was forcing her to wear which showed her legs.
188* ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'':
189** A guy with a jackhammer does this when he sees Fifi Le Fume in the episode "Aroma Amore". However, he freaks out as soon as he realizes she's a skunk.
190** Monty does this upon seeing Mitzi in "Prom-ise Her Anything".
191* ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'': In the episode “Two of a Kind”, this is Joker’s reaction the first time he sees Harleen Quinzel in her full ComicBook/HarleyQuinn ensemble.
192* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''. In "The Savage Time", the League travel back in time to World War 2. They save a company of G.I.'s, one of whom pauses to wolf whistle at the sight of Hawkgirl and Wonder Woman in their {{Stripperiffic}} outfits, before Comicbook/SgtRock shoves him back into line.

197* The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screaming_piha screaming piha]], a bird from South America, makes a call that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwPIX3AlCoI sounds nigh identical to one of these]]. It's one of the loudest birds in the Amazon, too.
198* Prostitutes in AncientRome were called ''lupa'' (she-wolves), apparently due to the wolf-like howl they used to attract the attention of clients.
