Expanding on a comment elsewhere:
I totally suck at asking people to stop doing annoying little stuff. I get annoyed, so I lose all ability to think up a tactful way to ask, and then I just shut up and stay annoyed.
This is particularly true if the annoying thing is something I was taught, as a child, not to do because it could be really annoying. Whistling is in that category. I was about 25 before I realized there were people who hadn't been told about whistling. I thought it was like BO: if you've got that particular problem, you FIX IT.
Ah, life. :-)

In asian cultures, there seems to be absolutely no problem with making noise when you eat. Lots of it.

From what I understand, if you don't, you are insulting the cook. Especially the after dining burp.
