I was in a lovely workshop at Think Galacticon 3, led by Adrienne Marie Brown. She's the best facilitator I've ever seen. We were in the murky transition between "waiting to start gobble gobble" and "starting now."
She walked up to, and then knelt to eye level with, the loudest turkey. She then said, "Can you model not talking for us?" Somehow she was calling this person to be a leader and shushing her simultaneously. Wonder if you could try that with the cell-phone booper. Somebody's cell in my library made a high-hat sound. Kept think the (metal) roof was falling in.
