Why does a kettle produce a "whistling" sound when boiling water?

The old style kettles, (Like my grandmother used to have) would have a whistle attached to the spout, when the water boiled the steam presure would be forced through the whistle, making a sound and alerting you that it was time for a nice cuppa.

 

you then take the kettle off the range, remove the whistle, and make tea, (or coffee)
