The bombs don't whistle, the air passing over them at high velocity does.

The whistles are the product of high velocity air current eddies making sound vibrations. Airplanes and whips also make the same types of noises.

What bombs where used in the blitz?

The Nazi Germans used "self flying bombs" known as V2 rockets. There were two types actually. The second type they developed could fly into London and it was so quiet you could not tell where and when the rocket would land. These bombs were the precursors to the missiles we have now. There were also the bombs dropped by the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) on the Royal Army Air Force locations, the seaports and cities.

Does a falling bomb actually make a noise as in the whistle that you hear in movies when bombs fall and if so are there measures so it does make a noise on purpose?

speaking from experience from ww2 Southampton bombing raids; bombs traveling at or above the velocity of sound; make a screaming, or whistling sound. The better you hear them; the more certainty it is not falling on you. The one that hits you you will not hear; for it gets there before its sound. ----
