There is some detail regarding moaning. As for it being accompanied by clapping and whistling, that is something impermissible. Whistling is not allowed; it is a characteristic of the Age of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah) and a moral failing, based on the Almighty's saying: "And their prayer at the House was nothing but whistling and clapping."
