Yes the horn ends the period, however I can see the reasoning for asking especially in noisy gyms where it might be hard to heard a short horn blast.

First, the term is timer. Don't believe me, have somebody read it to you from the rule book. So how aobut we teach the newbie the proper term?
Second, if the horn sounds, the period is over. It doesn't matter how loud the damn gym is. The clock will be at zero and the officials will group to see if either of them or the table heard the horn. Someone will have.
