Umpire responsibilities, as listed in the rulebook and casebook, are pretty clear that a whistle is to be blown by the umpire if both teams are ready to play before 60 seconds have elapsed to end a timeout.
Most people around here don't do it, but I do, and you are supposed to. It signifies the "official" end of the timeout.
