Eck Design introduces TriReso, a modular emergency whistle that combines three distinct sound chambers to project louder and more distinct rescue signals, improving chances of being heard in noisy environments.
- Three modular whistle chambers produce irregular frequency shifts for better sound recognition
- Pealess design reduces jamming from dust and sand
- Available in durable titanium or lightweight aluminum with optional glow-in-the-dark features
What happened
Eck Design has launched TriReso, a modular rescue whistle system available through Kickstarter. The device consists of three independent whistle modules that can be combined into one unit with multi-point magnets or used separately by outdoor groups. Together, the whistle modules produce multiple frequencies between 3,600 Hz and 4,800 Hz and sound levels up to 120 dB, creating a siren effect designed to stand out in noisy environments such as strong winds, rushing water, or traffic.
Each module serves a specific purpose: the Alert Chamber produces a recognizable signal for crowded or urban settings, the Power Chamber projects sound over long distances and in open or windy areas, and the Echo Chamber adds a distinctive higher-frequency tone. The TriReso uses a pealess design that prevents jamming, and the system comes in titanium or aluminum versions, with various color options and provisions for glow-in-the-dark tritium tubes sold separately.
Why it feels good
TriReso brings a fresh take on emergency signaling by combining multiple whistle tones into one compact device, addressing a key challenge for outdoor safety: ensuring signals are heard clearly in complex acoustic environments. By delivering sound in multiple directions and at irregular frequency intervals, it enhances both detection and directional awareness, which can be crucial in rescue scenarios.
The modularity of the system allows individuals or groups to carry and share whistle modules separately, increasing accessibility and convenience. Its pealess construction also boosts reliability, reducing concerns about mechanical failures due to dust or debris, a thoughtful feature for those who depend on their equipment in harsh conditions.
What to enjoy or watch next
Backers of the Kickstarter campaign can choose between the titanium model priced at $64 or the aluminum version at $44, with retail prices expected to be $99 and $66 respectively. The titanium whistle offers greater durability with a slight weight increase, while the aluminum is lighter and comes in bright orange. Glow-in-the-dark tritium tubes can be added for improved nighttime visibility, enhancing safety even further.
Shipping is anticipated to begin in October if the campaign is successful. For those interested in practical yet innovative outdoor gear, TriReso represents an exciting step forward in everyday carry tools designed to enhance emergency preparedness and response.
