Hopefully any sound would not carry beyond the next player's chair! Singers also have to learn to breathe silently. No big deal, just taking care not to constrict the throat but to keep it open so the intake of air is not audible. And the little sound that DOES occur is so characteristic that it's usually better to leave it in during a recording mixdown rather than trying to edit it out--sort of like the characteristic sound of the finger sliding over the frets on either a classical or an electric guitar, very DIFFERENT on the two instruments, but still characteristic.
