In Real Life, when a person has something private to say to somebody else, they tend to whisper it to them, to make it more difficult for the other person to hear.
In fiction, however, all dialogue is usually completely audible to the audience. That makes the few times when we don't know exactly what a person is saying all the more intriguing. As a result, an artist will sometimes use a whisper to add an element of mystery or ambiguity to a series. For this and other reasons, this trope is usually implemented near the end of a work.
Sometimes used as an Unreveal (when left ambiguous), other times as a Chekhov's Gun. Other times it begins as an unreveal, and becomes a Chekhov's Gun. This may also be used if one character needs to tell another something so obscene that the censors might be offended if it were spoken out loud. Can also be used to invoke the Unspoken Plan Guarantee, when Alice says to Bob, "Hey, what if we (whisper whisper)..." and then proceeds to execute it.
Compare Plot-Based Voice Cancellation. Contrast Stage Whisper, which is clearly audible to the audience but not to other characters. See also Pose of Silence.

Dead Again:: At the beginning, when Roman is about to be executed for the murder of his wife, Gray Baker asks him an Armor-Piercing Question: "But you still killed her, didn't you, Mr. Strauss?" Roman then leans over and appears to whisper something to Gray that we don't get to hear. Subverted when Gray tells Mike about the incident near the end of the movie: it turns out Roman just kissed Gray on the cheek by his ear.

Bullseye in Punisher Max whispers something to Frank as they fight. Frank's reaction implies Bullseye was spot on in guessing what the last thing Frank's wife ever said to him was. It's revealed 5 issues later, but if you get a magnifying glass you can see Bullseye said "I want a divorce".

Troy does this to Abed when he leaves for air-conditioning repair school. When the rest of the group asks what he said, Abed tells them that Troy said, "I know you hate when people do this in movies."
Another episode parodies this trope. When Abed starts whispering his plan to his friends, the camera pans away, and Jeff pulls it back reminding Abed that he can't just pretend to say something and expect a whipcut to the enacted plan.

Happens in the noir film Key Largo. Bacall's character, one of several people being held by the evil gangster in her own hotel, is being menaced by the gangster. He seems to actually notice for the first time how attractive she is, and so leans forward, bringing his lips to her ear... Cut to their silhouettes on the wall, his lips moving but with no words audible, background music rising—suddenly, she snaps, and slaps him across the face. We never know what was said, of course, but obviously it must have been horrible, and the viewer is basically free to set the perversion meter at just past their own tolerance level.

Lolita. In the Stanley Kubrick film, Charlotte Haze whispers in Claire Quilty's ear regarding an evening they spent together (implied to be more romantic for her than Quilty, who like Humbert is a closet paedophile). In both this and the 1997 adaptation, Dolores whispers in Humbert's ear what she got up to with a boy at summer camp; in that case definitely implied to be sexual.

In Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA, when Illya needs to restore Chloe's prana, normally done by kissing. When Illya begins to feel uncomfortable with kissing Chloe in a public place (technically a stairwell), Chloe points out there are other ways of restoring prana and whispers an unspecified example in Illya's ear when she asks for one. In the very next frame, Illya is huddled up in disgust, loudly declaring Chloe a pervert — indicating the method in question was very "adult".

In the final scene of Brick, Laura whispers something into Brendan's ear just before she's taken away by the police. When Brain asks what she said, Brendan tells him "she called me a dirty name", and Brain replies "Fine, don't tell me". The film leaves it at that, but the novella and shooting script reveal that she said "motherfucker", which is possibly meant to imply that Brendan was the father of Emily's unborn baby.

The Avengers:
Pepper whispers something into Tony's ear towards the beginning of the movie when motivating him to finish his "homework" quickly. Judging by the shocked, delighted look on his face and Coulson looking away in embarrassment, it was something quite dirty (though this scene also lent itself to some "Hail HYDRA" parodies a few years later).
Also, possibly referencing Lost in Translation (See below), Natasha Romanoff played by Scarlett Johansson whispers something to Clint Barton right before Loki is sent back from whence he came.

Near the end of Arbitrage, the main character whispers something to his daughter that we never hear. This was an improvisation by Richard Gere.

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory: After Mike Teavee gets shrunk by the Wonkavision, Wonka instructs an Oompa-Loompa to take him to the Taffy Pulling Room and get him stretched back out. The Oompa-Loompa then whispers something to Wonka who just replies that he won't hold him responsible.

Subverted in Digimon Tamers episode 14: "Grow Mon Grow". When Terriermon whispers to Henry, the words are actually intelligible to the audience before Henry repeats them aloud to Takato.
Played straight in Digimon Adventure episode 42: "Under Pressure", but only in the dub. In the original, when Izzy whispers his plan to Kari, some of his words are actually intelligible.

In Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country right after the bodies of Chancellor Gorkon's killers are found, Kirk takes Spock aside and they have an inaudible conversation. At the end Spock says, "Possible." It turned out to be an idea to lure the killers' killer out.

Star Trek: Voyager: After Q spends most of the episode "The Q and the Grey" unsuccessfully trying to convince Captain Janeway to have a child with him, the captain suggests he instead do it with a female member of his species. At first, they're outraged, but then Miss Q comes up with a suggestion that she whispers in Q's ear, causing him to chortle over how dirty it is. Janeway can't resist sneaking up for a peak, only for the two omnipotent beings to just touch their fingers, causing a flash that makes them shudder in delight.

In Spider-Man: One More Day Mary Jane agrees to Mephisto's terms for the Deal with the Devil but quietly whispers something to him before the deal is finalized. We find out what it was she said three years later (real-time) in One Moment in Time.
An interesting example, because fans magnified what she said...and it was DIFFERENT, from what it was in One Moment in Time. The two also had different authors.

Babylon 5:
In "The Coming of Shadows", the Centauri emperor whispers his Last Words to Londo after hearing how he and Lord Refa attacked and occupied a Narn outpost, even though the emperor had been trying to make peace with them. When asked what he said, Londo says, "Continue, take my people to the stars." When they're alone, Refa asks what he really said. "He said you and I are both damned." Refa isn't too bothered by it. Londo clearly is.
In the episode "Interludes and Examinations", Morden whispers various things to different people in league with him on the station. We don't hear what's said, but the context of things that happen next tells us enough — so it's probably simply a device to indicate how covertly he must operate on the station at that point, since he's a recognized persona non grata there.
In "Day of the Dead", Penn & Teller guest star as comedy Duo Reebo and Zooty. Zooty, Teller's character, always speaks through this little device and even his partner has only heard him actually speak once (he said, "Why?"). In the very last scene, Zooty comes up to Sheridan and whispers in his ear, pointing to his hat. Afterwards, G'Kar asks what he said. The answer: "Because it tells me to."
