That is disconcerting

We actually get a mixed bag here and a lot does depend on the noise level - some whistles and some yelling, sadly no Ka Kaw-Ka Kaw (although I have been tempted to give it a try).

Our brand spanking new Washington Mechanics Manual actually states for subs, "...the responsible official should blow the whistle (if needed to get attention) and hold the 'stop the clock' signal..."
