Locator calls do work, maybe not everytime, but most of the time you will get a response. Perceiving a threat has nothing to do with it. It's more like, this sound is pissing me off. The gobblers are so aggressive during the mating season, many sounds just agitate them. It's just the opposite of what you are saying. If there is a threat nearby, they will go silent until the threat is gone.
