Have you ever cut somethings throat? They can still scream and make noise (i.e banging their hands against something). Perhaps you are one of those people who think you can cut someone throat with the sharp edge sliding action. It can take up 1 min from someone to die from their throat being cut. And cutting "ear to ear" is dumb. If you are going to cut someone's throat cut cut it just below the hard bit of the wind pipe. This is where most of the major arteries are grouped.

I suspect you got this from some movie where the hero slits their throat and they fall down dead. The way the army does it is much different. From behind: The arm is placed under the neck. The back of the hand on the same arm is then pressed against the ear and the head is then bent in the same direction as the arm. The knife is then trust into the neck. Between the large neck mussel and the wind pipe. and just below the hard part of the wind pipe. The knife is then ripped out of the neck in the opposite direction to the knifeman. Once this is done the head should be forced backwards in order to make sure that the windpipe is open and the blood is flowing in.
