I do something similar, only my start and end whistle is the same. Tweet Tweeeeeeet. I only use a single whistle when I'm ending a rally, like with a net violation. Double whistle on all game interruptions for me; short whistles for subs, different double whistle for timeouts.

What's most important is that you differentiate the tone so it doesn't sound like the service whistle.
Couldn't agree more.
