The only time I'll whistle at the end of the period is I'm waving off a shot.

If that is the concern, I have never had that problem in all the years I have been officiating. Also when the quarter is over, I also wave my hands to signify the quarter, half or game is over. I have never had anyone not know what I or my partners were calling at the end of the game. Also during quarter and half breaks, there is a shot of some kind coming at the end of the period.
