# It's forbidden to make music (a rhythm) using any tool or even one's hand. <ref> However, making music is another prohibition codified in Shulchan Aruch 338:1 based on a different source altogether. The Gemara Eiruvin 104a has a dispute between Rav Menashe (and Ulla) who forbids any production of sound and Rava who only forbids making music (קול של שיר). The Bet Yosef 338:1 quotes the Rif and Rambam 23:4 who hold like Rava and infers from the Rosh 10:20 that he also holds like Rava. However, the Rosh and Tur 338:1 quote the Rabbanu Chananel who holds like Rav Menashe. The reason of Rava isn’t clear from the Gemara, Rashi, or Tosfot. However, the Rambam 23:4 writes that the reason of the prohibition is the same as in the Mishna in Beitzah, so that one doesn’t come to fix an instrument. The Magan Avraham 338:1 clearly understands like the Rambam as he even writes that really there is room for being lenient as the Rama writes in 339:3. This is also codified in Mishna Brurah 338:1. The Mishna Brurah adds that the prohibition is not limited to a musical instrument and also applies to one's hand. </ref> | # It's forbidden to make music (a rhythm) using any tool or even one's hand. <ref> However, making music is another prohibition codified in Shulchan Aruch 338:1 based on a different source altogether.

# It is permitted to sing or whistle (with one's mouth) on Shabbat. <ref> | # It is permitted to sing or whistle (with one's mouth) on Shabbat. <ref> Rama 338:1 permits whistling. The Magen Avraham 338:2 explains that this is only referring to whistling which is not musical. However, Mishna Berura 338:3 disagrees and says even if you whistle a song it is permissible because it is with the mouth. Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 16:2 and 39 Melachos (Rabbi Ribiat, vol 4, pg 1160) rule in accordance with the Mishna Brurah. </ref> | ||
