I go to my flute. 
Seriously, though: living room, kitchen, at the 'puter, band practice, sessions, ceilis, dance school demos, busking, and onstage; not all in equal measure. Sometimes I play at work when itās slow. The acoustics of auto service garages are fabulous. Paul knows about this. 
bathrooms have (on general) the BEST acoustics in a house.
The reason? because there is usually no (or very little) sound absorbing materials (like carpet, fancy wallcovering stuff, beds, carpet, uhh, carpetā¦ or furnitureā¦ I went in my room at my old house right before we left. It was completely empty and echoed!! ā not a big room)
I go to the local brewery, though Iād hardly call that unusual. Itās a nice one, excellent acoustics.
Our upstairs hallway has a high cathedral ceilingāgreat acoustics for when I need to locate an errant cat by playing āThe Girl I Left Behind Me,ā but my normal location is at my bedroom desk. Husband plays sax in the basement because he likes the privacy, but I HATE the fluorescent lights down there!
In the more unusual category, I play in the car, while sitting in the carpool line waiting for school to let out.
Hey gang, be careful about playing in small
enclosed placesānot good for the ears.
Amber light, red light, green light go!
Whistle drops
And gnome starts a bass drummin !
Iām a beginner and often practice while sitting in front of my computer, reading online whistle music.
When my mother-in-law stayed at my house for a month a while back (she had a broken leg and I took care of her), I had to practice in the bathroom with the door shut because she said my playing hurt her ears. Her singing hurts mine, so weāre even. lol
I play wherever I happen to be at home (usually basement in front of the comp, as now), and at the park by the lake when I go over there. People are kinda used to me by now, lol.
On the porch overlooking the lake, in ferry lineups, on the car deck of the ferry (too windy on the top deck), and just outside the bathroom. There are 6 of us, and one bathroom; playing reels on a Gen G tends to speed things up, but daughter #2 thinks Iām nucking futs.
In the dark of my room. Very relaxing and it forces me to trust my fingers to find the correct placement on the tone holes.

Has my fiddle, alas, out of tune,
But I wonāt go berzerk
'cause with Shultz, Shaw, and Burke
My desktop is happily strewn.
I can understand this if someone is not playing well, but I very much enjoy hearing someone play well in such surroundings.
I was sitting in my dear friendsā front garden the other day, late afternoon, early evening, after practice, and running through all the tunes I could remember a couple times eachā¦ after about 45 minutes or so, a truck pulled up in the drive and a gal got out and started my wayā¦ I jokingly (and a mite fearfully) said, āā¦are you here to throw things at me?ā ā¦ she laughed and said that no, in fact she was there to thank meā¦ she had been out working in her garden and at first thought that she was hearing the calliope from one of the riverboats, but when it kept on, she knew it had to be someone nearbyā¦ she had hoped I wasnāt going to stop until she had finished her gardening, and wanted me to know how very much she had enjoyed having the music to work to and that it had been beautiful. ā¦ and would I please come back and do it again soon !!! 
(of course, sheās not an ITM person, so I may actually have sounded pretty good. 
)
When noone else is home, Iāll play in the dining room which seems to have brighter bigger acoustics. When others are around and when Iām doing anything with tuner, metronome, or recorder, I play in the den, because thatās where Iām set up. I occasionally play in the bedroom, if the AC is on, so I donāt annoy the neighbors. Although of late, several neighbors have told me, āItās really nice to listen to you now; you used to suck.ā Both they and I are grateful for the improvement.

Although I mosltly play in my room, when no one is home I like to play in the bathroom, and the hall way at the top of the stairs, both echo, and it soounds pretty cool.
Well, if you read my blog, youāll see the problems Im having at the mo!
This is an old victorian house, with huge high ceilings etc - which is great for whistle playing, only problem is that the house has been split into flats (as has most of the road) so I have two families upstairs, this is a two bed, and up there are two one beds.
So, you can see my problem lol.
What kind of whistle do you guys recommend to that I can play quietly? I want one in D - and not too dear.
Thanks.
I often play in the kitchen. Also keep a whistle in the car and play a few bars after parking up. However , for the last 2 nights, Iāve had the urge to practise cuts( Iām a beginner) after getting into bed at night. I have succumbed to this urge, although only for 10 minutes, much to the bemusement of my husband !
i recently had the pleasure of playing at a camp fire. i like playing background music. one dog like my playing so much, she sat on my feet. i played mostly folk music and a few times, i had to stop to tell people the name of the song before they exploded.
while out of town on business i stayed in a hotel with an indoor pool which was happily empty it made for an excellent echo chamber i was amazed at how much better everything sounded i
hey, i just got to do the same thing. we had a state-wide meeting. there are 12 of us and most of us have worked independently but together for 20 years. we get to see each other 2/3 times a year. weāre like distant family to each other. look at a previous thread i started about other fun things to do with your flute/whistle. if you tip the end of the flute into the water, you can make really good whale sounds. the acoustics in that pool room rocked too. there were strangers in the hot tub with us. they did their very best to not show any emotion. they even ignored us at the continental breakfast the next morning.
Music is the best part of human birdsong. I like to hear the birds - even when they sound like industrial machines. Remembering this also helps me tollerate the suburban drone of lawnmowers on tranquil summer Sundays.
