Funny, but the vibration mechanism is actually very different. Whistling uses a very specific shape with your lips creates a vortex of air that creates sound waves (similar to a flute or blowing across a bottle).
Your vocal “cords” (vocal folds is more accurate), make sound by flapping back and forth due to the tension and airflow to which they are subjected. This flapping creates the sound waves (similar to blowing a raspberry or a fart).
So, saying your voice is just a prolonged throat fart is more accurate.

Yes, but, wouldn’t it actually be more accurate to say a prolonged throat queef?
Vocal folds do actually look less like a sphincter and more like… Uh… Other things
Why can’t I unread this entire post and comments?
There are in-throat video demonstrations of the vocal chords in action on YouTube if you want something you can’t unsee as well!
So less facelips and more buttlips
Also, I’ve seen it in a video. It’s pretty whistley
