For a good list of definitions about vocal terms in general, you might try:
http://www.allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?p=amg&sql=s1M
http://www.omnidisc.com/MUSIC/Glossary.html
http://www.allmusic.com/mus_Glossary.html
http://www.vocalist.org/html/9807/msg01464.html

and I'm sure other listers might have other links to suggest. If you want a
more extensive definition of whistle tone and/or other definitions, please
try searching the archives, there are lots of posts about this topic.
