make some noise

Be heard now

Make some noise is an exhortation to cheer, clap, or shout—typically from performers to audiences: Make some noise for our next guest!

The phrase requests enthusiastic vocal response rather than literal sound production.

It can extend beyond live events to mean show support or draw attention to something: It's time to make some noise about this issue.
