Sounds ridiculous but also those dust-off bottles filled with air you buy for the computer, spray that and it makes a funny noise (don't spray it in their face) and they usually don't like that noise either. Associate these things with a word such as Quiet. Give them a treat or praise when they do as asked.
Excellent ideas!
