If you do some research you'll find the whistles don't work at all, according to Consumer's Union (Consumer Reports).
The early ads claimed, "Tested by the Ohio State Police", which they were, and found to be useless.
The theory is by making noise the deer will hear you coming before they can see you. They can already hear you coming.... cars make a lot of noise..... and they still stand there and wait for you to arrive before deciding whether to jump out in the road or not.
