One tip I share with new officials in blowing the whistle.....you want to start and stop the flow of air with your tongue, not your lungs. The air starts flowing forcefully and is cut off forcefully. It creates a much crisper sound.
As for how to actually do that, it is sort of like saying the word toot into the whistle (extended as needed, of course) without the actual vocalization.
