Real world answer: every segment of volleyball has its own unique culture. In boy's/men's volleyball, the guys are just stupid, and the bench players are stupid too. Think hockey bench players. Chirping, humorous chants, etc.

As long as it isn't personal, let it go. If you address something that is part of the culture, even the other team is likely to look at you as overofficious.

Find a reasonable line, and stick to it. But make it something that materially affects the match or potentially could cause the match control to be lost.

Just my two cents...
