because its for the ref, he might get confused so they make different sounds. Imagine Dan Mirg in there having to listen for 2 air horns!

The clapping sound gives you a sense of time running out. The air horn signifies the end

The clap is just to wake Cecil up in time to scribble down some numbers.

Yeah basically what everyone else said it's to avoid confusion in the ring, and by now everyones used to listening to the wooden clappers anyways.
