Isn't the reason for the stop clock signal for the extremely loud situation when the whistle might not be heard? If so I don't see how you can drop this signal or why you would be more likely to do so for out of bounds than for any other call. Having said all this I believe that there are some who function as timekeepers that probably do not even know what the raised hand means.

Well when I watch TV games, they for some reason seem to not have any problems raising their hands in those games. And I can imagine that the noise is a bit louder than most of us will ever experience. The whistle stops the clock, not the signal.
