Yes, I also agree that they do peck for communications sometimes, but they also peck for food. I've watched them. They'll listen (turn head sideways and put it close to the wood) then peck, then listen some more, repeat.... When they are pecking for food, it's generally not very loud. Sometimes they peck and it's VERY loud. When they do that, they're just hammering away, and not listening to the wood, but they do seem to be alternating with other woodpeckers in the area.
