The mic isn't close enough to the whistle for the air coming through the whistle to even affect it.
Microphones detect sound, that's it. Blowing across the microphone opening at very close range to test them just happens to make a very loud sound across a wide spectrum of frequencies.....similar to the actual sound of the whistle.
