NO.
1 second, sure. 5 seconds no. 2, probably not.

1 second is actually good patient whistle. Such a delay is generally advisable to give you a chance to actually think about what you saw and not end up blowing your whistle when you shouldn't. Someone who blows their whistle at the instant a travel happens will be blowing a lot of calls.
