To sign this, start by signing 'outside,' then sign 'noise,' and finish with 'loud.' Make sure to use an intense facial expression to show just how loud the noise is.
Sign 'noise' followed by 'what.' Remember to furrow your eyebrows, which is the standard facial expression for asking 'wh-' questions in ASL.
Begin with the sign for 'please,' followed by 'stop,' and then sign 'noise.' You can use a firm but polite facial expression to convey your request clearly.
