Last week during the playoffs everytime my QB went to call out the signals from the shotgun formation, the visiting team would sound a boating air horn.
It was extremely annoying and disruptive to my signals.
Is this legal?
We are playing in the championship this weekend and wanted to know the answer.
I know natrural made noises are fine but, wanted to clarify this.
Thanks.
Please cite the exact rule if you know it.
HSF rules
Thanks!

If it is someone in the team box area, you have some grounds for a foul under "unfair acts" rule 9-3 since there is nothing specific in the rules about this. If I was the R and this was happening in the team box, I would tell the coach, "one more time, and we will have a 15 penalty." If it is in the stands, unless your state has a rule on artificial noise makers, which some do, I doubt you have any grounds. You could tell the coach, it is his teams fans, and they need to take care of stopping it or it will be 15 yards, but I don't know if you would be backed if it came down to a penalty.
