new(?) phoneme discovered

Today, while driving to work, I accidentally discovered a new phoneme.
It appears to be possible to make a voiceless whistling sound between
the glottis.

Questions:
- is anyone familiar with this sound?
- is there an IPA symbol for it?
- does anyone know any natlangs which use this phoneme?
- what other whistling phonemes exist in IPA?

Thanks,
René
