quiet please
Library sign request
Quiet please is a polite request for silence or reduced noise, typically issued by someone in authority or addressing a group.
Librarians, teachers, and tournament officials use it to restore order: Quiet please, the match is about to begin.
The phrase sounds formal and measured compared to simply saying "be quiet" or "shut up."
