You'd only hear another pilot if they're on the exact same frequency you're on. Even in real flying, sometimes a tower controller will be handling tower/ground, and you'll hear them give a command to another plane on another frequency and never hear the read back.

oh that makes sense so the atc is transmitting multiple freq's

Correct, as do a lot of real world controllers...especially in the TRACON and enroute facilities.

The airport is irrelevant, it's the frequency, altitude and distance which determines if you'll hear another player or not. It's pretty much like a real radio.
