Bonjour ahd,
to hum signifie fredonner, chanter tout bas.
to hum = to sing softy.
to whistle signifie siffler
to whistle = to blow, to swish, to hiss.
chanting does not exist in English.
un chant (français) = a song.

Hello,
You sing a song by Céline Dion or Lori or Elvis Presley.
You chant in a church,
or
You chant in the street when you are in a demonstration against pollution,education etc...
Hope it's clear now.
See you.

Gregorian chant: A-a-a-a-a-a-a-aaaaa
Indian (Native American) chant: Hi-yi-yi-yi Hi-yi-yi-yi
Football chant: Go team go!! Go team go!!
Greenpeace chant: Save the whales!! Save the whales!!
PS: Who would demonstrate against education?!? I think I would rather do my homework than spend hours in the street chanting "No more homework!! No more homework!!"

Is that means when we say X sings that's mean he songs a song with a great voice full of emotions and has a great sonds.But when we say a person chants that's mean he say some songs but which are usually very noisy just for a goal? I'm really so sorry but I really can't see the real meaning please could you make it more clearer and thank in advance.
