Does the word, "signal", refer to sounding the horn?

That is the only case I have noticed that mentions the sounding of the horn.
I am meaning all times though, not just specific times.
The text you quoted, should say: "The scorer
shall not signal after the free thrower or thrower has been handed the ball or the ball is at the disposal of such player or team or until the official has completed reporting a foul." The only time the horn/signal should sound in this situation is in case of a question or error, as long as there is sufficent evidence to do so.
