Tenochtitlan was the city in charge of the government of the powerful Aztec culture, which dominated the central territory of Mexico during the last times before the Spanish conquest.
The Aztecs or also known as Mexicas, were a warrior race that conquered smaller towns based on strength thanks to the fact that they had great armies and very well trained warriors.
The death whistles had two main uses: The first was to make them sound during the ceremonies in which they celebrated their dead. The second use was to make them sound when they approached enemy zones, what they were looking for with the sound that these whistles issued was to provoke fear in their enemies.
The sounds that are heard when they sound are like human cries of terror or Jaguar roar. Each type of whistle has a different type of sound, some are like woman screams, others sound like screams of terror, others sound what is believed to be the sound of the screams of death, Jaguar Whistle is special because their sounds are like a Jaguar Roar.
Can you imagine 100 whistles that sound like screams of terror or death ringing at the same time or 100 jaguars roar?
