If I recall correctly, yes, it does...kinda. (keep in mind that I can not recall where) If there is a shot, yes, blow whistle when shot is done. In that case, horn does not end the period. If there is no shot, then do not blow whistle. In that case, horn does end the period.
Shot, horn, end of shot = blow whistle (whistle ends period)
No shot, horn = no whistle (horn ends period)
If I am wrong, someone please quickly correct me.
Update: Check rule 6-7 article 5 exceptions A and B. Also, see
