MOST game clocks will "instantly" shift from 20:00 to 19:59 -- the tenths are still there, they just aren't shown; the clock therefore "rounds down." IF the clock doesnt' display tenths, then there will be a second delay between the clock showing 0:00 and the horn.
MOST shot clocks stay at 30 (or 35) for a second before changing. They round up. THe horn sounds as soon as the clock shows 0.
In any event, the rule / mechanics are clear to blow the whistle as soon as the clock hits 20 (or 25).
