It is a tradition to show respect for the flag.
Traditionally when people hear their national anthem being played at an even they stand and refrain from making any noise. Some also choose to place their right hand over their heart as an additional sign of respect.
First written by an American, edited by a Canadian: As with any country's national anthem, standing and taking your hat off is appropriate. This is a simple and respectful gesture for ANY national anthem or flag. You are not required to salute or make any similar gesture, but a simple respectful acknowledgment is part of being polite to citizens of other nations. For citizens of most nations, the etiquette for the national anthem is to stand, salute (if in uniform), place your hand over your heart (if civilian), or similar. It is unnecessary to place your hand over your heart in Canada but the rest is appropriate as well. It is also rather inappropriate to do anything but these things when the anthem is played officially. It is regarded as rude in some countries to sing along with the national anthem but in Canada it is not and contrarily, in elementary schools it often necessary to sing along the anthem so that children will memorize the words.
During the national anthem, individuals are generally expected to stand upright as a sign of respect. Those in uniform should salute, while civilians typically place their right hand over their heart. It is important to face the flag or the direction of the music, maintaining a respectful demeanor throughout the anthem.
The first National Anthem in ASL (American Sign Language) took place at Super Bowl XXVI. Harry Connick, Jr sang the National Anthem while Lori Hilary performed the Anthem in ASL.

Nowhere. The national anthem of any country is a song and not a place.
If you are an American, during the playing of the National Anthem, you should stand, face the flag, and place your right hand over your heart. Veterans and members of the military MAY render the hand salute instead if they wish. If you are not an American (or if an American, but present at the playing of some OTHER country's national anthem) you should stand, stay respectfully quiet, but do not place hand on heart.

No matter whose national anthem is being played, respect should be shown, by standing up. Americans tend to place their right hand over their heart. British usually keep their hands at their side.

Come to attention. If you are a civilian, remove your hat and place it over your heart. If you do not have a hat, place your hand over your heart. Military personnel, those in uniform and veterans come to attention and salute during the National Anthem.
They stand, face the American flag, remove their hats, place their right hand over their heart, stand reverent, and some sing along.
