The World's Loudest Acoustic Concert - York PA Factory Steam Whistle Christmas: Watch live tonight

Writer: Shane SpealShane Speal

LIVE CHRISTMAS EVE: WORLD’S LOUDEST MUSIC WITHOUT AMPLIFICATION FROM A NON-MUSICAL INSTRUMENT


My hometown of York PA has one of the most unique concerts ever heard and it's been happening every Christmas morning at 12:15am since 1889. Musicians perform Christmas hymns and songs on a haunting, 134 decibel factory whistle. On a clear night, the music can be heard ten to twelve miles away!


Here's a sample of what you will hear:



The concert will be streamed live tonight at 12:15am Eastern Standard Time (US) on the York PA Steam Whistle Facebook Page
