If the hand is correctly defined, anatomically, as all the hard and soft tissue from the wrist, down...

Then: the sound of one hand clapping is a fairly common occurrence.

I first witnessed it done by a martial arts instructor who simply snapped his arm and wrist in a semi-circular motion while he then closed his - generally relaxed - fingers and allowed them to strike his palm. It wasn't long before half the class (including myself) was doing it.

So what is the sound of one hand clapping?

In the class I describe, that's what all the noise was about.

I don't think that class - or its described activity - is particularly uncommon.
(I wouldn't be surprised if Robert, for example, has been doing it for years...)

One hand clapping is almost as easy to do as dry sand swimming,not recommended though if you have chapped skin!

So with fingers hitting the palm it would be clap clap.
But what is the sound of one lip whistling?
