If you are talking about pro level teams shouting at each other it is all a mental thing. I dont like getting loud at LANs but even just hyping your teammates up after a good round will have an effect. you can feel momentum shifts especially with less experienced players. As for the cod lan personal type stuff, not a fan but still mental prolly.
Also keep in mind, talking to get into someone's head can be done much quieter on a field/court than through headset ear cups across a room. So you hear it more
