Eating sleazily

Hi

Could you please provide me with the typical expressions for "eating sleazily" "make sounds while eating"?

(Mother to her children who are not eating not as expected)

Are these sentences natural?

Don't make sounds.

Don't eat so sleazily.

Don't eat like a boor.

Thanks,

Tom
