So a person near them, rather than tapping their shoulder and asking nicely if they could stop, makes a sound that is up to 100 times as disruptive and is probably heard by the performers on stage. Someone is murmuring or humming or something - annoying to those within five feet but not disruptive beyond that. Fortis voiceless alveopalatal fricative'Ssssshhhhhhh!'
