Mack Hoover has retired and Hoover Whistles are no longer in production, but the classic Hoover sound lives on. In 2022 a new whistlemaker was trained by Mack in the Hoover style. The new instruments, MackBeth Whistles, will embody the classic Hoover sweet, pure tone while developing new styles such as telescoping whistles and other portable designs.

Mack Hoover has designed and made unique handmade whistles since the early 2000's. His "signature sound" is quiet, but he does make louder whistles, too. That typical Hoover sound is pure and "sweet".
