The Rema in OC338 discusses whether whistling is permitted on Shabbos, which would indicate that it's not problematic at other times.
4 My Rebbe once told me that The Rema is only speaking about the Hilchos Shabbos, I told him then he should speak about Hilchos Meat and Milk and give milk and Pork as an example! +1 - Old WineJul 25 '12 at 18:55

4 The Rema seems to be discussing calling someone but the Magen Avraham says that whistling in tune is also included. - dashJul 25 '12 at 19:24

In Sefer Shmiras Shabbos Kihilchasoi it says clearly that whistling is Muttar on Shabbos - In the Alta Heim, however it seems that whistling was considered not tznius, inappropriate and not shabbasdike
1 I'm sure all the readers of this site who live in the Alta Heim will find this relevant. - Copycat33Nov 09 '12 at 01:53
