I am guilty of hitting my whistle multiple times for things like traveling, carrying, etc.

Me, too. Especially when he blows by someone with a quick first step travel or my partner may have a foul but I have the travel first.

My idol, Earl Strom, would tweet once, quick pause, then tweet twice when calling fouls. It was his sign to the players not to protest the call - or else!

I'll do it in these situations as well.

I don't triple up on all travels, but when I do....
