tut-tutters
Judgmental noise makers
Tut-tutters are people who express disapproval through clucking sounds or dismissive remarks.
The term characterizes those who react to others' behavior with prim, often self-righteous censure: The tut-tutters came out in force when the actress wore that dress to the ceremony.
It carries a slightly mocking tone toward those doing the disapproving.
