Just curious if there is a tone or sequence that I should know, as most referees do it differently now.

I can't blow my whistle down tininternet, but I generally use a short and long blow for HT, and two short peeps with a long tuneful gasp for FT

Two peeps for both.

Single peep for the foul.

I've started seeing some refs doing two peeps for fouls now though.

This is certainly the most common (and what I do). But nothing in the Laws dictates it. Just tradition in Many places.

Two short (one seconds blows) and one longer one l(about 3 seconds) for both half and full time.

Medium blast, short blast then a tuned longer blast...
