how do i put hitsounds to my hitcircles?

All your circles already have a hitsound, the so called "hitnormal".
To make the audial experience of playing the map more plastic and fitting to the song, mappers use these additional hitsounds.
I will go through it in the smallest steps I can think of to make sure you're not missing anything.

In order to add additional hitsound to your notes:

Step 1

This is optional but if you don't use the default skin for editing you may get confused by your skinhitsounds

Step 2

In order to hear the hitsounds, the effect volume should be at least as high as the music volume. For this small walkthrough I recommend turning the music volume off completely so you can hear the hitsounds without doubt.

Step 3

In order to hear the hitsounds make sure the volume of your timing sections is set to a reasonably high value. Put 100% if unsure and reduce it again later.

Step 4

Select a hitcircle

Step 5

Click on the "Whistle" button while still having the hitcircle selected.
The button will turn intransparent, indicating that the hitsound is active now.

Final Steps

Scroll the timeline to a position in front of the hitcircle in question.
Hit space and listen up. You can add none or multiple of these three additional hitsounds to any note.

I can also heavily recommend you to check out the "(1) Timing & Advance" of this mapset in the editor.
The nice thing is that you can always check right in the editor how the examples were done and even experiment yourself within it.
