Good question, Ken. Let's see if I can come up with a few good answers. I will assume that someone blowing a whistle does not qualify.
Charlene whistles in the middle of the song "Shady Grove" in Divorce, Mountain Style. Maggie Peterson did that loud whistle herself. Andy whistles after reading the "true" version of the Battle of Mayberry that Opie uncovers. (Whistling in the library is probably a no-no.) Andy whistles when "Tex" Foley admits he doesn't have any snowshoes in Runaway Kid Barney whistles when translating "bird talk" in Opie the Birdman Gomer whistles while Andy and Barney are playing dominos in High Noon in Mayberry (what was what? I didn't hear any whistle.). But Ken specified instances when we SEE someone whistling so this probably doesn't count because we only hear it. Andy sometimes makes a sort of pseudo-whistling sound to emphasize a point, such as during his thrilling version of the ride of Paul Revere. The scene goes something like "when the British come prancing along in their fancy red suits and a-waving at the girls [pseudo whistle] they let 'em have it!" This mannerism was based on something that Andy Griffith's father used to do when Andy was a boy. Andy whistles the song "There Is a Time" while playing his guitar for Aunt Bee and Gloria on the front porch in Guest in the House. Barney is whistling when he enters the courthouse in the opening scene of Barney's First Car I'll probably think up a few more later on.
