I've often wondered about this.

Football here is often played at community fields: there are football fields, soccer fields, baseball diamonds, etc... all in one montrous chunk of land.

They are designed well enough, but there is one commuity field where the whistle from one field can be heard on others. To date, I have yet to have a case where players stop/pause because they hear a whistle from a different field. (Knock on wood.)

I've always said to myself what keeps the players from stopping? Is it the volume of the whistle - they know it's from a different field?
