EarWarp Whistle

The EarWarp Whistle is a tool in Streets of Rogue. When used, it inflicts Hearing Blocked on all NPCs in your current Stage. It lasts for 30 seconds. When their hearing is blocked, you will not be able to talk to them, until the duration ends.

Tips and Strategies

 * Some NPCs in very small buildings can hear a door opening or closing, such as a Bouncer guarding a No Entry door. Using this will make it much easier to bypass guarded doors, provided you are not seen.
 * While this item is in effect, NPCs will not hear Explosions from either a Grenade, Rocket fired from a Rocket Launcher or a Generator blowing up, provided they weren't looking.
 * This item will make NPCs not hear any alarms coming from Security Cams and triggering Blue Lasers (As long if they didn't see you), making it easier for stealth.

Trivia

 * This item is a reference to the Warp Whistle item from Super Mario Bros. 3. Both items also share the same sprite.
 * In the french translation the name of the whistle is "Sifflet Beethoven" (Beethoven whistle).

When talking to any NPC with their Hearing Blocked
"I can't hear!"
