Recently I've started calling my girlfriend or another friend and chatting with them til I reach my destination. Alternatively I'll play music on my phone speaker, whistle, do something to make a noticeable amount of noise. Talking with someone is ideal though.
Seconding the talking approach. Makes it clear you’re there and can also be reassuring without trying to directly communicate with someone just walking home.
