If the “yeah” was not accompanied by gesturing, pointing nodding etc. or specifically directed at another player, I’d probably warn.
My first ever red card, issued to a player, was for repeated yelling and gesturing at an opponent across the net. I’m no psychiatrist, but I could tell the young man had mental/control problems and just couldn’t help himself. Sorry, but red card nonetheless.
Talk across the net happens all the time. I was guilty of it back in my time too. If the refs can’t hear it, attempts for enforcement often turn into he said/she said mess.
