A Boatswain's whistle
An electronic Boatswain's whistle
The Boatswain's whistle (pronounced bosun's whistle) is a small whistle that was used aboard old sailing ships since the 15th century, usually to gain the attention of the crew, and was still used on starships up to the 24th century.
Aboard starships, it is normally used when an honorary guest comes aboard or at a crew member's funeral, when their body is released into space.
The shrill whistle often plays before a ship-wide or open frequency communication, usually made by the captain or other senior officer.
When an Excalbian replica of Abraham Lincoln came aboard the Enterprise Lieutenant Dickerson blew a boatswain's whistle. (TOS: "The Savage Curtain")
An electronic boatswain's whistle was blown when Captain James T. Kirk set foot on the USS Enterprise in 2285. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)
Yeoman Burke blew a different electronic boatswain's whistle when the Klingon Chancellor Gorkon came aboard the Enterprise-A in 2293. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country).
In 2373, Captain Janeway hallucinated her own death and funeral aboard Voyager when a non-corporeal being tried to convince her she was dead, at which Crewman William McKenzie blew the whistle during her memorial. (VOY: "Coda")
