There are some higher frequencies that only children can hear but adults cannot (the Viet Cong took advantage of this; children would assist patrols by telling them when they heard whistling. The patrol would shoot blindly straight up in the air and endanger the bombing aircraft that were flying over).

A special device can transmit sound that is out of phase with the sound of a noisy jackhammer to the operator by means of earphones Over the noise the operator can hear your voice but you cant hear?

This device likely uses noise-canceling technology to generate sound waves that are out of phase with the jackhammer noise, effectively canceling it out. The operator can then hear your voice minus the noise, making communication clearer. However, since you don't have the earphones that are playing the out-of-phase sound, you cannot hear the canceled noise.

Can you make noise so the offense cant hear the signals?

you technically could, but you would have to be very accurate and time it correctly. you would have to make sure that the whole line is paying attention and know what is going on. if they hear a noise and think that it is the sound to attack on or do something else, it messes up the whole play. you would have to make a noise and hide all movements with the noise.
