    The funny thing is, I can sing but I cannot whistle.

    Come to think of it, I can't snap my fingers either. My inability to whistle bothers me more, however.

    I couldn't whistle at all when I was younger but recently I've come to university and suddenly found that I'm able to whistle without any difficulty. I don't know what changed to mean I suddenly could.

    Can't whistle to save my life, but snapping my fingers has never been a problem.

    I'd trade in a heartbeat though ;-;

    It is not so much of a question of ability so much as a question of 'Should I?'.

    I can't whistle, I can only snap, but it's pretty loud. My dad can snap thrice using different fingers.

    I can whistle, snap my fingers, roll my tongue, make farting sounds by squeezing my palms together, make farting sounds with my armpits... clearly amazing except not really

    Yup, took me a while though. I spent months trying every now and then, to no avail. I ended up randomly spotting the right position and I spent half an hour playing with it to memorize it. Once the sweet spot is found it' s just like riding a bicycle, you can' t unlearn it.

    What puzzles me is that I can' t reach high pitched notes, for instance the highest note of the X-Files theme eludes me. Haven' t figured out how to whistle loudly by sticking fingers in my mouth either, but I don' t miss it.

    I can snap my fingers in theory, but in practice I almost never do it. And I can roll my tongue but it' s genetic, no training involved there.

    I actually learned how to whistle by breathing in instead of out while growing up. I can do it while blowing now, but it's kind of funny.
    And on the subject, I can snap my fingers too, using my index to my pinky finger

    I don' t think you can unlearn that either so that works too. ^^

    Forgot to mention that nowadays I' m training to roll Rs while I' m whistling so that I sound like a bird.
