If your partners are good at carrying the whistle you shouldn't know...but if it starts to effect that officials performance you would know, short burst or whistles that are so soft the players continue to play. Poor mechanics because the officials is so concetrated on not dropping their whistle.

The NF and the NCAA CCA manual say that lanyards are mandatory.
