The whistle, bell and gong shall comply with the specifications in Annex III to these Regulations. The bell or gong or both may be replaced by other equipment having the same respective sound characteristics, provided that manual sounding of the prescribed signals shall always be possible. |

| This is the only rule I'm aware of that has changed in the newest USCG Navigation Rules handbook (revision August 2014). Rule 33; inland and international 12m or more -whistle only. 20m or more, -bell and whistle for both inland and international. Before inland did not have the 20m rule but started with the bell and whistle at 12m. Got this exact question except for 12m at REC Miami on 2 Feb. |
