I think an English person would say: "Um, excuse me, could you, um..." – and then make an anxious, tiny, sideways hand movement, to indicate "stand aside".
As he made the hand movement, he would raise both eyebrows and open his eyes wide to denote "lack of aggression".

About a month ago a student of mine was sitting for an exam. I was invigilating. She asked me to ask a teacher who was talking in the hallway outside to keep his voice down. Of course I didn’t. I then asked the student, “Would you have asked him to?” She replied, Why not?”
I guess some students are so easily inclined to develop a degree of insolence that would instantly prove uncontr
