Not addressed in the FED manual and varies by area, association and sometimes from crew to crew. I've heard:
1) No whistle necessary ever...that's what the horn's for.
2) Always whistle to end period.
3) Only whistle if there is a shot close to the horn and you want to a) count it or b)wipe it.
Pet peeve of mine...with all the nit-picky rules we are expected to know about things like wardrobe, scorebooks, etc. you'd think the FED would address this as it occurs at least 4 times per game.
