I don't know for sure, but I've always been told that they whistle when the valves are adjusted properly.I adjust mine on .008" all the way across, as I'm a firm believer in "a little loose is better than too tight" and mine whistles.

this is what I've been told several times:

German exhaust tweets, brazilian exhaust claps. I've had both and it did coincidentally happen to be just that way.
